He, Thomas Hobbes

He, Thomas Hobbes

By: Natalie Wu

I am a bright man, who seems to know all, but yet,

I wonder why the government was created.

I hear people complaining and

I see the true side of people, their selfishness.

I want to discuss the idea of a social contract.

I am a bright man who seems to know all, but yet.

I pretend to be in control of everything, but

I feel that people are acting out, doing anything they want.

I worry that people will go back to their state of nature, and so

I cry out the idea of a social contract.

I am a bright man who seems to know all, but yet.

I understand why people act out, and so

I say how one person should rule, in the “Leviathan.”

I hope people agree to give up some rights for protection.

I dream that someday a social contract is created.

He is a bright man who seems to know all, but yet.
