We the People...

How long will I be free?
In this great county of sovereignty.

Will my rights be taken soon?
Or, will we the people; sing our last tribune?

Will I still have a right to choose?
Or, will we be puppets of the governments muse?

Will I loose my freedom to worship?
Or, in the end will we be larruped?

Will I still have freedom to own land?
Or, will we have to give up everything in the end?

Will I still have a right to bare arms?
Or, will we have to succumb to harm?

Will we have to give up all our freedoms?
Will we be able to salute to our flag and sing our athem?

If the goverment has its way.
We will all loose our say.

When it is all said and done..
Our freedom and rights will be gone.
