The older I get, the wiser I wish I was. The more I learn, the more I know I don't know. I envy my 20-something self who had all the answers, knew just about everything, and really understood how much my parents didn't know. Yeah, that idiot!

Death and Taxes .... and Inflation. They aren't just inevitable. They are the ways the elites ... the ones that run the frickin' planet, whoever you want to call them ... control the masses and that means, very likely, you and me.

This piece is based on a simple set of comments I heard today:

"Taxation and inflation are the means by which governments steal the prosperity of their citizenry. Taxation is the overt means while inflation is the covert means."

and

"Taxation and inflation form a humiliation ritual. We are paid in a currency that is constantly being debased while the political class line their pockets with our property rerouted via fraud and waste."

I'd say "enjoy" but I bet you won't.

Fear Not, Rise Up

[Instrumental Intro]

[Intro – Spoken/low growl over building tension] 

They say death and taxes... 

But they forgot the silent thief called inflation. 

Wake up. Get up. Or get off the rolls.

[Verse 1 – Fast rap, angry delivery] 

Taxation's the open robbery, inflation the sneak in the night 

Government steals your sweat while the elite feast on your rights 

They print, they debase, your dollar dies slow 

Political class pockets the cash, watch the corruption grow 

Fraud and waste, taxpayer-funded lies 

Propaganda in schools, in the news, under freedom's disguise 

They prey on ignorance, laziness, our damn complacency 

Keeping us chained so their power stays dynasty

[Pre-Chorus – Building intensity, layered vocals] 

They use the "law" to force fear, compliance in chains 

But the shield is ready, the truth breaks the reins

[Chorus – Huge, anthemic group shout/chant, full band explosion] 

Fear not! Do not fear! God said it scores of times! 

Stand up, voice up, man up, woman up—break these lines! 

No more humiliation, no more silent theft 

Wake up, get active, for our kids—it's time to act! 

Fear not! Fear not! The shield is in His hand 

Rise for posterity—take back our land!

[Verse 2 – Faster, more urgent rap] 

Waking up ain't enough, you gotta get on your feet 

If you're still asleep to the lies, fraud, corruption, deceit 

Delete your voter card or stand in the fight 

Awake but inactive? You're part of the night 

Become literate—history, Constitution, the law in your grip 

First Amendment fire, backed by Second Amendment steel—don't slip 

They use our money against us, feed us the fraud 

But God's command echoes: Fear not—stand tall!

[Pre-Chorus – Even louder, crowd-like] 

They pray on our weakness, but the call's getting clear 

Time to rise, time to roar, time to conquer the fear

[Chorus – Repeat, bigger, with ad-libs] 

Fear not! Do not fear! God said it scores of times! 

Stand up, voice up, man up, woman up—break these lines! 

No more humiliation, no more silent theft 

Wake up, get active, for our kids—it's time to act! 

Fear not! Fear not! (Fear not!) The shield is in His hand 

Rise for posterity—take back our land! (Take it back!)

[Instrumental Solo]

[Bridge – Slow build, intense spoken/sung] 

They thought they could break us with debt and with lies 

But the fire's awakening in our children's eyes 

No more kneeling to thieves in suits and ties 

God's voice thunders: "Do not be afraid"—arise!

[Final Chorus/Outro – Massive, triumphant, fading echoes] 

Fear not! (Fear not!) Do not fear! (Do not fear!) 

Stand! Voice! Man! Woman! Year after year! 

For our posterity—we fight, we stand strong 

With His shield, with our rights—where we belong 

Fear not... Fear not... Rise up! 

[Fade with defiant chant: Fear not... Fear not... Rise!]
