By the People

BY THE PEOPLE by JOHN M. ARRIBAS Every form of government is eventually oppressive Laws governing civil acts rapidly become excessive Know all national figures, that rule from the core Devise ways and means to throttle you, more and more As populations increase, the need for adherence grow To rigid parameters set, by those running the show The fences inch closer with each new regulation The noose tightens daily suppressing expression Few realize, they are the denizens of closing walls Being corralled by fiats issued: by invisible cabals Laws can please and appease the general populate But having their freedoms lost is the common fate Governments rule by fooling the common man Matter not the governance, its always a scam
