Basic freedoms we can do
as long as we don't step on
others toes to do
We don't have the freedom of
queens and kings
nor the take off of birds with wings
We might be ok as long as we
pick up the phone if the tax man rings
but it's all over if the fat lady sings
Was it the burger king who said
have it your way
this is true if you pay
America home of the brave
land of the fee
nothing in this darn country is free
hardly a piss when we got to pee
even flushing the toilet has a fee
No one really has it their way
I don't care how much they pray
Adding to the pretense
while in the garden Adam
had no expense
Once he left the Garden cover
quite a bit of expense he did discover
Basic freedoms we can do
as long as we don't step on
others toes to do.
That is the bottom line. Great write.
