Space Rock

The meteor was coming near But little Robbie had no fear His parents knew earth was DOA But he tried to argue, to save the day. He said, “Dear Space Rock, don’t I have rights My life and liberty are in your sights I like puppies and cats, and elephants too You’re coming for me, but what did I do?” Robbie’s Dad said "son, a rock can’t feel There’s no moral part to which you can appeal It doesn’t matter how nice you are We’re at the mercy of a shooting star." The meteor missed, the earth was fine But still it was the end of the line The ideologues came for Robbie’s Dad He tried to argue, his naivete was sad. The ideologues had a one-track mind It was year one, time to leave the past behind No freedom, no rights, that was the deal They just laughed at Robbie's father's spiel When criminals or ideologues, have you in their sights Say goodbye to logic, and to your rights Look around, the dominos fall Can't argue with a rock, can't charge at a wall.
