Alan Watt: Give Up Freedom for Security? -- Strains Credulity

"Faith, Hope and Charity for One Who Prays,
While Nietzschean Rulers Use Men Like Bernays,
Self-Directed Free-Will Could Bring Disaster,
For Such a Public Would Bear No Master,
They'd Know Cultural Value of Social Rules,
Not Turn into Jelly, Nor Taken as Fools
When Told to Give Up Freedom for Security,
Knowing their Rights are the Only Surety
Against the Clever Clique Whose Machinations
By Way of Deceit, Bring Consternation,
Fear and Destruction to All Free People,
'Fore Erecting their Symbol, the Eye-Topped Steeple"
