Week 4 - Word vs VERITAS - DRAWN

[Word]

We've been denied our right to do as we please
by the government elected to keep us free
we get regulations "to make us all safe"
but these regulations take our rights away
and somehow today we seem to have no say
as to how we live, work, love or play
even when our choice has no consequence
to any living soul in the populace
somehow the government is our conciousness
telling us what's best, keep us from our sins
who are they to say what we think is best?
life,liberty... the pursuit of happiness
has been stripped from us by the powers that be
that "elected" government supposedly
has our best interest in mind... but why
is it any of their business how I live or die?
if I want to get high, as long as I don't drive
as long as nobody's harmed, how can I be denied
but yet I hear the lie that it's just not my right
I say it's not THEIR right to get involved in my life
it's MY life and I'll be damned if I'll be controlled
by the same damn system that's supposed to hold
to the constitution dedicatated to keeping us free
why have we let them take away our life and liberty?
I don't believe they have the power, yet it seems
they can do anything and say it's for society
but it's time that we stopped being blind and see
that the government's overstepped it's boundaries
and has no authority to make laws that impune
upon our human right to pursue the truth
it's up to me and you, we must take back our lives
take back our society, we must expose their lies
repeal the unfounded laws in lieu of Ultra Vires
