To the Editor:

   

   an Internet-of-Things would be a boon

to spies who don't care for your privacy

by putting microphones in ev'ry room

they'd mock the notion of Land of the Free

if George III commanded such a tool

the Colonies would still by in his fist

no matter how unjust might be his rule

there'd be no way the People could resist

"Leviathan" taught us we need a State

to keep our baser passions well in hand

but still left room that we could legislate

some Civil Liberties throughout the Land

once SkyNet's integrated in our homes

our dreams of Liberty collapse like foam
