Liberty!

\nThe anarchist stood loud and proud, exclaiming he was free;
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Unbound by laws, completely unoppressed.
\nHe knew the way, he knew the right, why couldn’t others see
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 That total freedom has to be the best?
\nHe stood aboard his soap-box and proclaimed into the night,
\nProtected by the constable who helped maintain his right.<\/p>\n
The anarchist was wise and true, he knew the only path;
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 His argument too good to be gainsayed.
\n“Abolish laws and government; the only aftermath –
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 A better life for all would be displayed,
\nNo bullies would exploit the poor, if everyone was free.”
\nToo stupid to consider that some people don’t agree.<\/p>\n
The anarchist knew everything, he knew the ways of man.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 He knew that all are good when left alone.
\nNo need to think of consequence, no need for groups to plan,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The seeds of perfect peace have now been sown.
\nToo bad that as he walked the streets his fellow man ignored
\nHis instinct too protect the weak, the anarchist was floored.<\/p>\n
The anarchist’s in intensive care, a gang imposed their rules.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 He crossed a line he didn’t know was drawn.
\nAuthorities were thinly stretched protecting lots of fools
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Who treated basic liberties with scorn.
\nI should be free to swing my arms but not to punch your face;
\nWe need some laws it’s just that we must keep them in their place!<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nThe purpose of law is to protect the weak from the strong, many laws are framed
\nto do the opposite but the answer is better laws and law makers not no laws!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
