The Bill of Rights

If your not sure,

Ask yourself this before you touch me

I don't want to be

The first that you teach. I believe in the right to privacy.

It's the right to be cherished by your own

For what would be the point in being

Locked up in a cell, They say you should always speak

The truth, no matter who hears it.

I'm not sure if I agree,

But this line in particular I do. We the people

Have declared our Rights.

They are not the property of

a few individuals,

They are not for sale

Nor for rent to the highest bidder. You should always be,

protected from extraneous forces

Of whom you have no desire

To know or be,

You should always be

In love with your partner

And with yourself,

You should always be,
