Think about it. Mass media doesn't need to get rich from us and also tell us what to do. We should not let it continue.
Declaration of Independence
By Franklin Price
11/17/2020
Not yet were we a country
Not yet the U.S.A.
England was not listening
To what we had to say
Had no control of what we did
Not represented for our tax
We declared our independence
A short summary of the facts
Today we find ourselves again
At a freedom ending place
Technology and ultra-rich
Are taking England's place
Mass media now striving
To take our rights away
Amendment one is almost gone
Of the how and what we say
They began with good intentions
At least it seems that way to me
Where friends could get together
Where opinions could be free
The masses caught on quickly
Made these Techies ultra-rich
Now they think they know it all
And Mass Media's a
Money is not everything
No matter what the raves
The rich think that they're our owners
We should not be their willing slaves
Centralized communications
Now control us at their whim
We should declare our independence
And take our freedom back from them
Time that we released ourselves
From Mass Media control
Return the power to the people
And raise the flag back up the pole
