Too Many Laws

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)..."Laws are like cobwebs which may catch many small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through."

TOO MANY LAWS

We have built our webs of law

Supposedly for our protection

It is America, after all

But is freedom a mere perception?

For every civil annoyance

A law is passed, we are restrained

Most are pure and simply nonsense

An insult to our brain

If moral standards were encouraged

If right and wrong ingrained

All these laws as a growing appendage

Could eventually be constrained

Too many laws to stifle

More reprimand to engage

When kings become our idol

Then it's time to turn the page
