Freedom Myth


READ THE FINE PRINT

We CAN'T do
whatever we want

None of us are as free
as we'd like to be

Though we pretend
to be masters of our restrictions

We can never
rise above the  hypocrisy
imbedded in this democracy

Checks and balances

Cause we can't be trusted
to self regulate our base impulses

Control every urge

We got dancing lawyers 
making laws
other lawyers will appeal
in marble courts
now televised

No surprise
the social contract
is awash in vague clauses
that no one can see

Our natural freedoms
sacrificed constantly
at the alter of personal security
