I Walked on the Sidewalk

I walked on the sidewalk, but it belonged to the public.
No pavement under my feet, only shards of tyranny.

I brushed past the tree, but it grew from a city park.
No leaves past my shoulder, only thorns of statism.

I ran, I ran through the field, but it was "conserved" by fiat.
No tall grass through my legs, only daggers of oppression.

"But you are we, don't you see?" shrieks the bureaucrat.
"You'll fit in, you'll fit when properly cut!" howls the politician.

No, I am Me! I am Me!
I'll fit myself wherever I'll be. I'll be me and I'll be free!

Damn you tyrant, state, oppressor! Damn you bureaucrat and politician!
I'd damn you all!

I'd damn you all to Hell...
...if there were one.

Is this a joke? Like, is it supposed to be ironic?

In closing, libertarianism is just anarchy with more corporations.

@LazerLuger Never intentionally, though; Unless of course they're a parody of objectivists, like the one in this video.

This is quite obviously a parody. If the last line of the poem doesn't prove it, I don't know what will. Essentially, it's making fun of the inane bullshit that libertarians whine about all the time.

hahahha, I know this is a parody of Rand even though I've never read more than a few pages of her

the delivery could be better

I am Andrew Ryan, and I am here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his own brow?

[PatrikMacGoohan]
