The Tightest Knot

As time has flashed before you...
As the world has changed and rearranged
Do you find it strange that a verdict is not in?

Oh, haven't you heard?
Gary McKinnon's world depends
On the mercy of a few, who want to do
Nothing to pursue his case
(So it would seem).

A spade is a spade? Really?
So now a decade has passed and many
Have asked the question: "Why?"
May I suggest something?
Look at the intent of the man...
Not the crime
(So it has been called).
What do you believe you'll find?

He was in the wrong place at the wrong time:
And now his face is everywhere!
He wishes he could take it back...
Do they care? Does that count?

Did he intentionally go there? Yes...
He's admitted that.
There was no hack or personal attack on
Information.
But the supposed dirty deed is irreversible.
Alright... Even so, the time doesn't fit
The crime... Would you agree?

Sixty years?? Can Gary be forgiven?
Of course! He can & he should, I think.
And so do many!
What good will come from sending him away?
Again I say it's the intent of the man...
Not the crime (So it has been called).
This is not a case of paying for a sin.
How can Gary be blamed?
Wherever he should not have been...
Something was uncovered.
(That's been there quite sometime)!

It's the intent of the man...not
The crime (so it has been called).
Don't you see?
Whomever wants to hide all this...
That's their business.
Why punish Gary for what's already there?
If someone could provide energy for free...
Well...Gary is to stay away from every computer.
Seems "they" got their way already!

Doing what came naturally led Gary to a wealth of...
What could be expected with computers "they" did
Not protect (apparently)?
But it's time to be real...It's everywhere now!
Somehow, can you understand? This is a
Broken man here.
What about the fear he faces everyday?

As the world is changed and rearranged do they
Find it strange a decision is not in?
Haven't you heard?
Government trades places like an
Insect sheds its skin...
Still Gary McKinnon has no answer.
The story goes that the Emperor had no clothes...
But unfit he could not be; so he would not admit.

Seems someone is impressing by dressing him again.
Poor Gary! What can he do?
Come on... Wouldn't you want this cup to pass from you?
Some say: "You did it-- pay up'
So this man has been in knots for ten years.
Isn't that enough? Not according to some!
Some still want to dress the Emperor... To
Protect...someone, I think.
Gary's been hoodwinked by the powers that be.
I'm sorry he must be involved in that!

Innocent until proven guilty? Well, you'd
Think!
But something stinks here. I'd imagine, somebody's
Fear. But in the meantime, Gary gets older.
Where does that leave him?
Hold on, my friend! This isn't over!
The dawn follows that darkest hour.
You will see morning again!


For Gary McKinnon.

This is something I'd begun jotting down a couple weeks ago.
I typed it out in nice stanzas with line-breaks, but can't display it that way in my preview. Will try to fix that and re-post :)
