Modern Tyranny, Part I

The most fundamental right we have
is to defend our precious lives,
a natural right to bear arms,
to fight those who would have us die.
Be it criminal or deep state,
(Sorry, I repeated myself),
we have the right to fight of those
who would subject us to sheer hell.
When all of the great tyrants have
disarmed those stuck under their thumb,
the idea of disarmament
strikes the mind as radically dumb,
the world can never be made calm,
the real threats will always be there,
powerful folk just want your guns
so they can leave you in despair.
If your country is doing this
then you’re living in tyranny,
that government should be abolished
or altered until you are free.

The lefties attack property,
it’s the oldest socialist line,
but when the state controls it all
I think you will quite quickly find
that you’ll have no security,
no resources for your own use,
if you complain and cry at this
the bastards just send in the troops.
we saw this in the Soviets,
Government does it all the time,
property doesn’t just help you live,
it helps to keep the state in line.
It gets in the way of their plans,
wraps them in red tape, slows them down,
and that’s despite the fact that you
have an utter right to that ground!
Did you not put the labor it,
to acquire things that you need,
why should some moocher come take it,
why should they not be made to bleed?
If your country is trying this
then you’re living in tyranny,
that government should be abolished
or altered until you are free.

CONCLUDES IN PART II.
