Letting Them Defeat Us

HORACE who was a famous Poet in the Roman Empire. He was the son of a slave.

QUOTE

Great effort is required to arrest decay and restore vigor. One must exercise proper deliberation, plan carefully, before making a move, and be alert to guarding against relapse following a renaissance.

65 BC-8 BC

Letting Them Defeat Us

Life had been fruitful

Liberty became etched in stone

We had become accustomed to freedom

It is all we had ever known

Like a stealth cat hunting in the night

Conspirators came to betray us

Changing every option we had for life

We'd now accept what they would pay us

A nanny state left us stagnant

No dreams would be fulfilled

They taxed us to the fullest

Had we remained strong willed

Unless we revive our vigor

And bear the arms we kept

Our children will wind up drowning

In the complacent tears we wept
