To Be Free
If by fate or Providence
then by any other form, we should resist.
For if not by determined vigilance,
it will erode and be shred askance -
tossed upon the dung heap of Democracy,
and from that false Camelot to soon flee
into the dark pit of terror called Anarchy,
also an abomination to not forever be.

From such ashes will rise an Oligarchy
ruled by a few, anointing a ruler to be.
Called an Emperor, Dictator or King -
a Fascist, Communist it's all the same thing.

To think that once was held so dear
a form of rule no man need fear,
one ruled by Law and not by man,
a Republic to keep if he can.
