Defeating Tyranny

Defeating Tyranny

This is how to overthrow tyranny:
elections by a free people who care
peaceful transfer of power
alternative media outlets to counter brainwashing
decreasing the size of government
ridding a society of mandates by unelected officials
stopping demonization of average citizens
halting massive monetary corruption
short of divine intervention 
this is how it is done

it is difficult~ many obstacles to freedom exist
that will try to maintain power:
a biased dishonest media
a bloated bureaucracy
an oligarchy of the defeated who want to retain power
unconstitutional judicial power
Nazi style thugs who like to commit violence

it is a tough row to hoe
no guarantees that it will work but 
if enough people care it might work

Thanks Gershon. It was going to be a slightly different poem but I thought better of it.
