Rights

      Just because you were born, you think you have rights
Just because you are alive, you think you have rights

Perhaps because you are American
and you have a bill of rights
that says
YOU have the RIGHT to persue happiness
you think you have the right to achieve happiness

What the right is
is the right to run around in circles

you do not even have the right to breathe
unless someone gives you that right
by that I mean
that there is no one preventing you from breathing

take a deep breath
take another deep breath
still and again
take a deep breath

Some think they are entitled to affordable housing
(at whose expense)
Some think they are entilted to an education
Who will feed them
Who will pay to feed them
Who will grow the food to feed them

Entitled
to the right to persue happiness
entitled to earn the right to persue happiness

there is no free lunch
eveything has a price
what can you afford to pay
for your right to persue happiness
