So many empty suits

Talking at us

Over us

Under us

Concerned only with power

Greed

The bottom line

Promises broken

Passing more laws

To restrain us

More propaganda

To de-brain us

Done a good job

On quite a few

So far

Taxing us

Into oblivion

Shepherds wearing ties

Herding so many

Like sheep

Between the fences

Of their rules

Like cattle

Led to the slaughter

Of their dignity

Of their morality

Of their very lives

Bowing to Big Brother

In a three-piece

A little more privacy

Surrendered

Struggling up

A slippery slope

Greased by stupidity

Watching passively

As their freedoms erode

Such a pathetic lot

Controlled by the government

But wait a minute

Aren't "We The People" the government?

They don't think so

And you know what!

They're right!

(Note: Just thought I'd post something I wrote that's quite different from my usual!)

(big hugggsssssss) This is such a sad but true fact, sweet friend, my heart goes out to all who are victimized by the government in greed and taxes! (sigh) I pray we can find a future where we're the government more and together work as a group to find what's right for us all! (big hugggsssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, you have such wonderful strong feelings and we're all so proud of you for what you say! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
