Seeking Less Government In Their Lives

The majority of the people
Rush to have their liberties quoted
As stated within the framework
Of the constitution

At yet
These liberties representing the same people
Are said to interfere too much
In the lives they wish to live

People are seeking less government in their lives
But it is the government they run to
To protest their entitlements
Are not being represented as documented

And those they elect
Are eventually despised
For not implementing those policies
Created to describe standards and precious values
