Twas the Night Before Leakmas, by Poll_Blind:
The secrets were kept, while the citizens slept
But the secret keepers were wide awake
Because they saw the crimes, committed at times
By the government in our name's sake
And so they tried, as time went by
To bring this to their superior's attention
But saw no hide nor hair of the government's care
told "Of these things we demand no mention!"
Lacking a remedy, throwing off all timidity
A few of them decided to shout it
They turned their attention to a brand new invention:
WikiLeaks would be their tool to help out it!
With the first leak, that first little peek
The government mostly ignored it
But as leaks had grown and ugly truths became known
The government came to abhor it!
Filled with fear, about dirty secrets held dear
Our government could no longer stand it
They knew from where the leaks came, but instead blamed Assange
"Arrest him, now! We command it!"
'Round the world Julian hops, and never long stops
With our government hot on his trail
He fully-well knows the strange life he chose:
The leakers are safe when governments chase his tail!
We accuse him of treason, yet for some strange reason
On Der Spiegel, Le Monde all are quiet
No accusation of crimes against The New York Times
He releases, they print it, you buy it!
Whether or not WikiLeaks is the venue, the leaks will continue
Because it's not about them at all
It's about secrets and crimes that weigh heavily on minds
And a government who cares little to right it all.
