Ode to the Free State Project
by Philip Denisch


By politics I have been shipwrecked,
living for the statist prefect,
scarce the freedoms did I detect,
inside thinking, "Free State Project".

Living here the life of deject,
by the nanny-state am henpecked,
socialism they try to infect,
but me wanting, "Free State Project".

Many taxes they do collect,
but no grievance try to correct,
with their bayonets all erect,
my soul screams out for "Free State Project".

Politicians smug from elect,
bathing me in lots of neglect,
we know their morals as a defect,
where, oh where, is "Free State Project".

Freedom is the only object,
liberty for all to inspect,
every franchise we will protect,
forging now the "Free State Project".

From the states we'll gladly eject,
don't you dare call me a 'subject',
across the land we'll all have trekked,
to make a home - "Free State Project".

Each of us not like an insect,
freedom in the state we'll inject,
working hard to make it perfect,
soon to be the "Free State Project".

Some may try our course to deflect,
on the goal we all must reflect,
to fix the state that we will select,
onward to the "Free State Project".

All the info we must prosect,
facts to find and always rechecked,
faulty data shall be suspect,
wisely chose the "Free State Project".

Living free I fully expect,
from this path I shall not inflect,
servitude I fully reject,
come of age the "Free State Project".
