We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens act only by permission; which is the stage
of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.
Ayn Rand 1905-1982
Letting It Happen
Have we become complacent?
Has are trust been too true?
Are we accepting what's happening
Right on cue?
As long as we're given
What we need to get by
Is it in our best interest
To sit back and comply?
Will the rich still be here
When taxes eat them alive?
Once they have moved on,
How will the rest survive?
When the handouts are gone
And there's no one to give
What will life be like?
Will we merely just live?
Will the parties go on
In Washington DC,
As the rest of the folks
Are just trying to be?
When there's no longer a will
To excel and do better
Can we accept that our government
Will be our babysitter?
How long will we remember
Of the people by the people?
Will they allow us to pray
Under our own chosen steeple?
When the time comes
We are left to comply
At the barrel of a gun
Do this or you die!
Will we regret this day
We accepted their terms?
When they laugh as they play
And Our Constitution, it burns.

Hope many others of health and youth read these very thoughtful comments and give them full consideration and look at the facts they seem to ignore.
