Freedom, or...

Of freedom...
-------------

We began, able to use our energies at will
Taking what we needed, disregarding all else.

We evolved into a more 'civil' state
Taking what we wanted only when acceptable.

We entered a phase of sociability
Partaking in what we desired where this was 'fair play'.

And now we surround ourselves with laws and regulations
So we take what we can get if it's acceptable on paper.

So soon, the development of government structure
Will lead us to take what we will, the hell with the paper.

After all, these rules and restrictions
Are only meaningless escapes to be dodged!
