Chelsea Manning remains in Jail
“It is improper for a prosecutor to use the grand jury to prepare for trial.”
Moira Meltzer-Cohen, of Ms. Manning’s legal team,
Chelsea Manning remains in Jail
along with Julian Assange and and and-
Why are our heroes in jail
and the villains in this movie-wait-
we’ve elected them
Trying not to write political Poems
scarcely read-Herschel Baron/Robins
used to call this “current events Poetry”
He wrote some of his best work
from a Spanish Civil War cell
On my Calendar
we’ll have a Julian Assange Day,
a Chelsea Manning Night
and God Bless America will finally become
This land is Your Land
Chelsea Manning remains in jail
for no damn good reason
and all the real criminals
will have books written about them
omitting their crimes
Chelsea Manning remains in jail
and none of us should rest
until she’s out
