Freedom Revoked

I often sit and shake my head Thoughts tumble while in my bed How often has it been said For the good of us-- is why it was did I stand up and take offense It is not a series of circumstance We as people have to make a stance Or the big guy will put us in a trance You bring in new laws one by one Taking our rights until there are none Tightening the reigns on everyone Soon our freedoms will all be gone I sit in utter state of dismay While with our freedom they do play All the while they will say For your good we do this today... 6/10/14
