Give me freedom or give me death,”

So the singer shouts

But when everyone always does whatever he wants,

Songs of joy turn to pouts

The sage lends wisdom that the petal needs the flower

We should remove all doubts.

“Unity,law,and order—we all must obey,”

Steams the water of the kettle

“The good of all we must consider,”

But this leads to tyranny as the steams settle.

The sage talks more about the many and the one

“Just remember, the flower also needs the petal.”
