I Cannot Pledge Allegience
|
By Ty Pollak. February, 2001. I cannot pledge allegiance To a government of men I cannot silence my conscience I cannot forsake my beliefs In the name of public opinion To be judged by the masses Approved by the courts Sanctioned by the politicians The snakes of statism Stealing from the rich Giving to the poor Stealing from the poor Giving to the rich In the name of public good They do evil In the name of truth They tell lies In the name of peace They make war In the name of love They spread hate I will not pledge allegiance To your flag I will not bow down To your god I will not tolerate Your intolerance I will not be The slave to society A pawn in your politics To be bartared like chattal Used as cannon fodder Managed as your resource If you want justice If you want progress If you want peace Give man his freedom |
