Freedom to Transact - Bitcoin Poem 078
The core of basic freedoms
Is the freedom to transact
This underpins the other rights
In the Magna Carta pact
The crux is private property
To use, or hold, or trade
Our time, our land, our energy
Our work - our fortune made
King John was forced to sign it
Holding tyrants to account
So that we can all stand free
With our liberty paramount
Why, in all our nations dear
Have freedoms flown away?
Due process rashly flung aside
As prisoners, we must pay
Now Bitcoin rises to sustain
Our freedom to transact
A bastion of private property
No matter how oft attacked
So steady - up and onward
For our freedoms, stand exact
At the root of other freedoms
Lies the freedom to transact
