A free country

Even them with personas
Cultivated as upbeat
Can easily be unsettled
By a well-aimed tweet

And if that tweet arrow
Hits someone in power
Things can soon turn
Really nasty and sour

Their acolytes would file
All manner of cases
And media make famous
Hitherto unknown faces

Enforcers would lock up
Re-tweeters with tweeter
Whose barb was pungent
Taking revenge that’s sweeter

The system will then resist
Any attempt to secure bail
Thus advertising to others
The real prospects of jail

Even when the battle
Does shift to some court
It’ll be an uphill task
With hardly any support

Freedom of expression
Is a very good thought
Imprisoned by restrictions
Reasonable or not

So think before tweeting
And look before leaping
This is a free country
(In a manner of speaking!)
