While We Looked Away

"The state can be and has often been in the course of history the main source of mischief and disaster." Mises

WHILE WE LOOKED AWAY

The truth is there's a need

For the government our forefathers created

But to make the republic succeed

Small government is celebrated

We the People at our best

Had our eyes on legislation

But now we're in a mess

With apathy and indoctrination

The truth is we lost sight

Of the duty to oversee

A powerful government might

Encroach upon our liberty

While we looked away

Progressive politics began to spread

The future is in decay

And chains are ours instead
