Something For Nothing (A Libertarian Poem)

Live for yourself...there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more

Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim

You don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be

What you own is your own kingdom
What you do is your own glory
What you love is your own power
What you live is your own story
In your head is the answer
Let it guide you along
Let your heart be the anchor
And the beat of your own song

Different eyes see different things
Different hearts beat on different strings
But there are times
For you and me, when all such things agree
