Apathy rages unchecked

 

 

The time has come for real debate about the power of the state.

to interfere with liberties we have enjoyed for centuries.

Encouraged by our apathy the state moves forward stealthily

 towards its long desired goal exerting power and control.

Reducing our right to choose intolerant of other views

The state knows best their constant theme as secretly they plot and scheme

 

To alter the existing laws and thus gain power to enforce

Further curbs on liberty, stealing power insidiously.

The time has come to call a halt, root out the guilty men at fault.

Strip them of all authority which they obtained dishonestly.

Remind them that the people rule. The government is just a tool

which we employ to do a task, or is that far too much to ask.

 

 I am free born a citizen, a man just like all other men

I do not need a nanny state which has the power to dictate.

to tell me what to eat and drink and try to tell me what to think.

It’s time the people aired their views and stated firmly they refuse

 to allow any government to act without their full consent.

Is this a democracy ?to me it doesn’t seem to be.

Although you may reject my views while you have the power to choose.
