they got their man
caught him
lying to the FBI
up to eight years on two counts
just a dumb kid in the wrong place
at the wrong time
a twenty year old high on weed
as his friends hauled out the computers and firework tubes
of the two clowns who blew them all away down in boston
he could’ve helped the feds out, they said
played ball
cried uncle
when they stormed his dorm room
except he lied to some of the biggest liars in the nation
concealed when he could’ve assisted
committed the cardinal sin of having no grace under pressure
but now he’s giving them so much more
that mendacious little prick
with the a foreign sounding name
who picked the wrong kind of friends
who got high at the worst of times
eight years of his life on two counts
another scapegoat
in a long line of scapegoats
locked away so that the rest of us
shining examples of sincerity
can continue to sleep
comfortably at night.
