Just a thought



In the increasing constriction
Of government restriction

I offer the following observation
Of freedoms suffocation

Of daily liberties
Savagely curtailed

Of your war on everything
That has sadly failed

Of your attempts to control the masses
Becomes comical as it passes

Many like me question your sanity
Or is it simply blind vanity?

Why is it so important to control the mundane?

Why is power such a treat?
Why relish the suffering at your feet?
Do you really believe
That you’re the “elite”?

I can’t help but laugh at that term
Please forgive the disrespect
As I snicker for effect

To me it’s simply ludicrous
Because you’re such a joke
The masses you seek to silence
Are angry and awoke

I wish to simply confide
That you might want to step aside
Before the masses take you for a ride
To your “unfortunate suicide”

Are you getting the vibe?
