Seeking Independence
A new world we came from across the sea
Seeking independence and opportunity
The plan for families would be tough
With hard work it would be enough
Our Patriots understood social contracts you see
Leaving us with a limited government and liberty
This progress was not suppose to add more
To all of you who are money's whore
But "we the people" were fast asleep
Our eyes closed not making a peep
Waking up we now stare at privation
Asking what has happen to our nation
They told us the Patriot Act was for security
The real intent was to prey upon our liberty
The only thing left for greed to conclude
Disarm all of America leaving us screwed
This completing a circle of Representative Democracy
Leading us back to what was fled, their Autocracy
Edward J. Ebbs - 06/12/14
