The Federalist #84, August 1788 -Alexander Hamilton
“To bereave a man of life, says he, “or by violence too confiscate his estate, without accusation or trial, would be so gross and notorious an act of despotism, as one must convey an alarm of tyranny throughout the whole nation; but confinement of the person, by secretly hurrying him to jail, where his sufferings are known or forgotten, is a less public, a less striking, and therefore a more dangerous engine of arbitrary government”
The establishment of habeas corpus
no more not for anybody (especially your homeless mother)
a writ pertinent to liberty
We live with arbitrary imprisonment
instruments of tyranny as formidable as

They control us with their fascist jibber jabber
threat of detention centers built for citizens
now they are studying how to control us from their bunkers
It is time for me to start plagiarizing myself repeat my already writ poesy
I am not trying to decay in the wounded collection of soul
