The unbalanced sovereign rules over his people.
Treachery, lies, and an unhappy flock.
Hobbes and Paine speak of contracts and "Common Sense".
But who has common sense?
Forever trapped in a solemn monarchy until what?
The people band together and have a sovereign no more.
Checks and balances, they say.
A declaration.
"We the people".
A democracy exists and with that liberty, and a balanced country.
America, the land of the people.
Oppressed no more.
