The quote is from BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. Ah the wisdom of Ben...
Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.
ON TO SOCIALISM
A once docile people tend the land
Only concerned about the work at hand
That will feed the people their home grown bounty
And let them pursue happiness in a united county
In come the corrupt tyrants moved by their greed
Gathering in groups the people in need
Convincing them all of a generous society
With plenty to give to ease their anxiety
They demonize the workers who have made their own way
Say they are not willing to share from their tray
They promise to help if the people select them
To act as their leaders, legally elect them
Welfare and foodstamps are a new source of living
Taxes upon taxes from the workers now giving
Why should we survive with sweat on our brow
When the government promises to take care of us now?
One by one regulations will strangle them
Companies fold from the rules that entangle them
Big government has everyone under control
A socialist society, that's how they roll
The evil crooks are the robbers no more
The ones to mistrust are the wolves at your door
They come to squeeze taxes from everyone
And while they are at it they are taking your gun
Soon in the darkness, behind doors you must pray
They listen intently to the things that you say
Letters and emails are for their prying eyes
They have captured the people with false promises and lies
Only virtuous people are apt to be free
Tyrants prey on the people with no hope to be seen
Those earning a living under pressure will fall
And poverty will be the curse of us all
