When criticizing your government is treason
All freedom has failed.
When holding them accountable for their actions is treason
All freedom has failed.
When smelling something foul in the air is treason
All freedom has failed.
When dreaming about the Great Man’s crime is treason
All freedom has failed.
When getting a prediction correct is treason
All freedom has failed.
When reading old books is treason
All freedom has failed.
When being intelligent is treason
All freedom has failed.
When every word you speak must be true
All freedom has failed.
When they spy on you for nothing
All freedom has failed.
When they listen to you
All freedom has failed.
When you cannot be prosperous through hard work
All freedom has failed.
When you can’t say what you think
All freedom has failed.
Has all freedom failed?
