Oppressed No More
The unbalanced sovereign rules over his people.
Treachery, lies, and an unhappy flock.
Hobbes and Paine speak of contracts and "Common Sense".
But who has common sense?
Forever trapped in a solemn monarchy until what?
The people band together and have a sovereign no more.
Checks and balances, they say.
A declaration.
"We the people".
A democracy exists and with that liberty, and a balanced country.
America, the land of the people.
Oppressed no more.
