Everything always get so serious. Thought this could be a fun experiment to discuss a serious issue in a non-serious way.

I yearn to be free

To plant a tall tree

Or maybe five or fifty

A greener world would be nifty

Power corrupts

So why should we bother

With coups so abrupt

And Dictator Father?

Yet democracy still

Gives me a chill

Tyranny of the masses

Why the rose colored glasses?

Corporate greed

Is not immune

From society's bleed

Into authoritarian noon

So what, then? A king?

Or anarchy's kiss?

How do we give up the bling?

Live a life full of bliss?

The truth lies inside

The life we observe

Is the one that we chose

And thus, what we deserve

If we want to be free

Change from a few's not enough

Not just a million and three

But collectively, all of us
