We only have ourselves to blame!

We only have ourselves to blame!

A Poem by poeticpiers
"

a rant

"

We only have ourselves to blame.

 

Selected randomly by fate.

I became famous over night.

Be cause of what I chose to write.

About the duties of the state.

 

My writing caught the interest

Of the silent majority.

Who happily agreed with me.

It is our duty to protest.

 

Against assumed authority.

The creeping power of the state.

We can’t afford to hesitate.

We have to act immediately.

 

If we do not it will become

Too late for us to call a halt.

The state will control by default.

And bring an end to our freedom..

 

We only have ourselves to blame.

Because we did not choose to see

erosion of our liberty.

We let the state control the game.

 

The time has come to overthrow

The dominant bureaucracy.

Inhibiting our liberty.

There is no doubt it has to go.

 

 

We live in a democracy.

It’s our responsibility.

To ensure that bureaucracy

Cannot be used oppressively.

When you see your liberty and freedom being eroded by bureaucracy, corruption and as you put it the creeping power of the state , none should be complacent. Evil happens when good men do nothing. This is increasingly the state of politics worldwide.
