libertarianism

Locke's Second Treatise undergirds the Earth
on which our whole republic claims to stand
assigning lord and peon the same worth
that's what he means to say that one's a man
the right to property's not without bound
democracy presumes we're each the same
if some would sprawl on silks, some on the ground
"our" government's not ours, except in name
a much as he can till's a man's by right
beyond that, everything soon goes amiss
good work by day, and sleep secure by night
to grasp for more would be gross avarice
political philosophy's amok
when men prostrate to worship the Lord Buck
