Some folks
Claim that a desire for privacy
Is an admission of guilt
And that the innocent
Should have nothing to hide
Unless you’re in government
Where secrets have undergone
A miraculous transformation
From signs of suspicion
To things of beauty
And having to answer
The least little question
About their wholesomeness
Is regarded as torture
