Government and Man

Ask the government if you can die. Frighten them at most. Those who'd give you answers then would have you as their host. Cowards laws to break you in. Them who'd crave the power. Telling you confess to them. Corruption they would tower. All the agents flocking by. People you'd leave cries. Unimpressive power hounds. Incompetence that tries. Leading you to sure despair. Following undone. Sealing us a damning fate to leaving us as one. Hope to bring some help to us, sealing of our faith. Together looking out for us when death comes for it's Saithe. Fighting to bring out our values. Nurture those who can. For the value of a human being may just be in the man.
