The votes are in.
Bank accounts win,
citizens lose,
in the guise
of the possibility
of protecting the rights
of someone listed wrongly
as a terror suspect.
Yet, they snoop
through our data
and we must
remove our shoes-
precautionary measures.
If they did nothing
in 2012
for innocent babies-
mostly white,
why would they
in 2016
for faggots and dykes-
mostly non-white?
