SOCIAL CONTRACT

Acrostic

Binding group agreement (6,8)

Still some believe there is no need for them to put back to the system they partake of
Of them I say, they in their way destroy us all with a lack of cohesion
Cohesive force is of course what binds us all together and every one is eligible to inclusion
Inclusion means we share our dreams of a better life for one and all
All I see is apathy to demands for rights, entitlement without consent to live within the law
Laws of the land you understand are there to ensure we conform in contribution

Contribution to our common cause lies within the laws undermined by opportunism
Opportunism, greed the need to go faster than the other guy whether or not
Not caring for another's comfort, I've got mine my rights divine, totally
Totally clear I have no fear for prejudice protects me I know MY rights
Rights to do as I please demanding you give your all
All human rights I claim, sad that you can't do the same but then I am a special case
Case closed before its started I'll be claiming compensation you can talk
Talk to the hand, talk to my lawyer, but mind what you say, especially on social media.
