Plato said something interesting about dictatorships..."Dictatorships naturally arise out of a democracy and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty."
IS IT TOO LATE FOR QUESTIONS?
Can being so free induce the pain
Of leaders who rise above our cause
To control our lives again and again
Manipulating us with oppressive laws?
If leaders choose to circumvent
The rights we own and should demand
And we allow it now with no desent
Can government take us by the hand?
If by the hand they lead us down
A primrose path where all is free
Isn't it true it will come around
That handouts steal our liberty?
By the time we realize it
Will it be too late for questions?
Will we live oppressed and then despise it?
Too late to have learned our lessons.
