Mandates

Should not my body be my own to use

In any way my will should ever choose?

It seems that freedoms something that I lose

When government controls my every move.

Get vaccinated or my job will go away

Even though the science does remain unclear.

I guess I no longer have a say-

A captive of the public’s growing fear.

Big Brother is compassionate and wise:

I must obey, and I must never fight.

Punishment will come if one defies:

The disobedient must be exposed to light.

How did our nation ever lose control

Of the personal freedom many died to save?

We’ve become a lands that doesn’t have a soul-

No more land of the free home of the brave.
