Poem
You see them loot on city streets, attack people and leave them beat, take what they want with no regard, it’s ‘easier’ than working hard. We see them take a human life, with no regard for people’s rights, defraud taxes, both poor and rich, spend your hard work without a hitch. Will the police protect you then? if the politicians left them, but if your view and thoughts are ‘wrong’ they help the thugs to get along. Your life must be in your own hands, a never-changing rule of man, the wolf is always at the door, if you want peace, prepare to war. We’re so secure in modern times that it seems bizarre to some minda to think foreigners could invade, some relic from a darker age, to the point that they will decree, “Let’s only use diplomacy,” forgetting that the wretched lot that usually rise to the top crave what you have, and do not care if war is what will get them there. But why have these guys no struck yet? an ever-present fear of death, the fact that we will kill them back is all that staves of their attack. Reason can never convince them to give up power’s addiction, and when the sheep-dogs go away then these wolves will come out to prey, with no thought of the blood and strife, they’ll take your land and rape your wife, the wolf is always at the door, if you want peace, prepare for war. We can’t forgive the greatest threat, the evil we’re forced to abet, the specter we call government, forever plays on sentiments, divides and riles openly, draws power from our liberties, and even here, in a free state, a tyrant lies in each, and waits… Waits to seize what it never should, while claiming it’s for your own good. our founders knew just what they are, tried to stop them going too far, to this day they chafe at restraint, make it a reason for complaint, but their intentions are well known: they see themselves upon a throne. From senator to bureaucrat, we’d do well to remember that the wolf is always at the door, if you want peace, prepare for war.
