Abandoning Assange

Abandoning Assange

Assange dared
to care
for humanity.

Sacrificed himself
for the
“public interest.”

Too bad
the public
wasn’t interested.

Too obtuse.
This colossal goof
has cooked our proverbial “goose.”

Bill of Rights and
international law long gone.
Governmental criminality made strong.

WikiLeaks’ massive evidence
could have shattered big media’s
“conspiracy theorist” accusations.

What a shame
Americans’ collective conscience
is away on such a long vacation.
