"To test for whether one is living in a police state is that those who are charged with enforcing the law are allowed to break the laws with impunity." Jim Roland Founder of the constitutional society
RANGE WAR
In they came, armed for battle
From a fellow American they take his cattle
Though his family's livestock grazed this land forever
The government was compelled to this endeavor
Day by day lawbreakers surge
Over the border into welfare they merge
Yet what battle does our government choose?
With an American cattleman, now I'm confused!
He works, pays taxes, and helps feed this nation
Has employs more cowboys each generation
Asks not for welfare to feed his own
He's doing well with all he has ever known
What brought this government wrath thrown down
Snipers perched, armed feds all around
Where his cattle has grazed for decades here
Is it really for the tortoise the government fears?
I suspect a hidden agenda within
This battle against these American men
Is this a preview of what's to come?
Government agents converging, brandishing guns?
What should be handled within a court
Turned into a brief range war
It may be, and I hope I'm misguided
Just the beginning our civilization divided
