THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT MY SHEPHERD

The government is not my shepherd,

that I should want;

it makes me yearn for our histories green pastures.

It propels me into waves of burdens;

it is the thief of my potential.

It leads me down a warped path

for its name sake.

Even though I endeavor while watching my

country’s demise and foresee its future trepidation,

I will resist the evil fear,

for my U.S. Constitution is with me;

its precepts and its integrity, they comfort me.

Surely rugged individualism and debate shall save my great country

all the days of my life;

and I shall dwell in the Land of the Free and

the Home of the Brave forever.
