good time to get doing

when is it a good time to get doing
the things that make us happy
people are much easier to be around
fear brings out the anxiety as happiness fades
the day is long enough to get it all done
government wants a cut of everything
you pay your taxes for fear of punishment
have we had this conversation before
tyranny takes over and we don’t mind
when it isn’t knocking down our door
the small yard doesn’t interest them yet
government might already own it
fears arrive when flashing lights pierce the night
the laws aren’t always made to protect
people but certain policies and certain people
you and I aren’t that lucky yet
have we ever contemplated what the future might look like
freedom viewed from our invisible cages…
