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
