Ricardo Antonio Garcia

Edward,

the David of Congressional oversight

peace be with you

on this clear day in the United States.

Sending the warmth of our hearts your way

you opened the door

to a great Victory and prideful resolution.

Edward, Americas Son

the traitorous appeals will dwindle in the fog

as administrators

of these agencies are found corrupt by law.

How these judges

with a heart for our values surmount, and

pull the chains on the rabid idealistic weavings

of duly arresting power.

Shall this be France, or shall this be Italy

and hang

the oppressor’s tone by pillaging mentalities

who had enough of these chains?

In the wake of your efforts and your sacrifices

we understand the carnage afloat

now beaching itself on our shores of freedom.

By sheer intelligence

you thwarted a nation from being spied upon

breaking the code of silence.

The domino affect is just beginning to unravel

as disclosed injustices will prevail.

We lend you our arms in approving silence

that the World will be a better place

and a safer place from our own false protections.

Things that fall into the dust

will be the syncopation of your walk in heart

seeing true justice

and as you maverick the way uncovering wrongs

with the majesty of your big guns.

The days of corralling politicians and Generals

now- more than an arms reach away

from the midst of our faces

and mal contempt’s for leadership that handicaps.

Edward, the David of Congressional oversight

we salute you in your clairvoyance-

a true visionary child of the United States.
