Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Taking Liberty

Liberty in the U.S.A. 

Notwithstanding the Lady's plea,

It's what the powers that be say,

Always was and always will be.

The U.S. Constitution is

What the powers that be use

To conduct power keeping biz,

And We the People to confuse.

Powers that be now look ahead

To a new world order to give

Instruction from birth until dead,

The degree of free each can live.

We'll lose liberty in degrees.

What is liberty in Chinese?
