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
