Do Not Give up your Rights

Do not just give up your rights,
Old and young should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of your rights

Though saint-a-modish bullshitter think they know what’s right,
Because their words feel like forked knives
Do not just give up your rights,

Evil thrive when people of good do nothing.
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of your rights.

People who blindly trusted now see their rights in flight,
And learn too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not just give up your rights,

Your rights near death, you see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be sad,
Rage, rage against the dying of your rights.

And you, my fried, there on the sad height,
Will curse, the day when you look back and every thing you
Believe is a lie, I pray.
Do not just give up your rights,
Rage, rage against the dying of your rights

Personally, I think the world would be a better place if people held greater concern for their responsibilities than their rights.

True, but isn’t rights a form of responsibilities? Freedom isn’t free you have the responsibility to protect your rights. I know its sound like I’m talking in circles.

No, man. You are making perfect sense. I just think there is an imbalance in that many people are far more concerned with their rights than their responsibilities. I'm a big believer in the "Ask not what your country can do for you" philosophy.

You both made some good points here.To many people in this country think they have a "right" to do anything they want to,and they usually want someone,the government in most cases,to provide the means.I think this has lead to an erosion of standards in many cases.
