Centralized power proves antithetical
To your freedom - it’s quite pathetical
They ask us to be more ascetical
And let them rule - it’s quite heretical
Collectivism fails! Not hypothetical
Property and Liberty - quite synthetical
I’ll stand for freedom and wax poetical
It makes the message more aesthetical
