The NSA national anthem

We need to update the Star-Spangled Banner. So I did.

O say can you see all my data today
It’s not private anymore and our pols say it’s all good
We don’t care about you, says the NSA
We only spy to keep bad guys from your neighborhood
Oh but wait we also trap the internet you read
Do not worry citizens, it’s from fear you are freed
Oh say does your government know what is best
So pretend that you are free, we’ll take care of the rest

If you liked this, how about trying my novel, Darkness Rising: Book One of The Catmage Chronicles? It’s a YA fantasy adventure.

Thirteen-year-old Andy Cohen gets the surprise of his life when a talking cat shows up in his front yard. Goldeneyes, a powerful Catmage, needs Andy’s help. Her grandmother—the wisest, most powerful Catmage alive—is missing, and her trail leads straight to Andy’s town. But there’s a problem: Goldeneyes doesn’t like humans very much, and Andy is impulsive and reckless. They have to learn how to work together, and they need to do it before the Wild Ones kill Nafshi and steal her powerful Magelight.
