I wander through each chartered street,
Near where the chartered Thames does flow,
And mark in every face I meet,
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.
In every cry of every man,
In every infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mindforged manacles I hear:
How the chimneysweeper's cry
Every blackening church appals,
And the hapless soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down palacewalls.
But most, through midnight streets I hear
How the youthful harlot's curse
Blasts the newborn infant's tear,
And blights with plagues the marriage hearse.

"Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains"
What JeanJacques Rousseau meant is that government, social class, wealth and
poverty are manmade prisons in which people trap each other. In the "state of
nature" to which we are all born, those things do not exist. Remember that in his
day there were no democracies to speak of. People everywhere were ruled by
absolute monarchs whose word was law.
JeanJacques Rousseau
The Social Contract' published in 1792
