Simple Rights

"When any government, or any church for the matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, this you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know, the end result is tyranny and oppression no matter how holy the motives." Robert A. Heinlein

Free to see

Where thou may look

Free to read

Your chosen book

Never forbidden

The right to know

When to come

Where to go

At liberty to pursue

Our quest to wealth

And choose the doctors

For our own health

Allowed to live

In dwellings we own

And have no fear

Of killer drones

Be reasonably taxed

Pay our own way

Serve our country

Earn our pay

Be the people

Who elect the best

Who delegate our wishes

Be never oppressed
