Freedom To Speak
Listen to poem:
To hold an opinion is not a crime
but to be denied the right to converse is.!
Proclaim the truth ,don't be denied your call
It does not cost nothing to listen , but the earth if denied.
A gag is not a fashion accessory but a weapon of censorship
even when it is lined with the finest coat of fur .
The issue may be the colour of a wall or should we go to war
the principles the same its the freedom to speak
Be not a bird in that gilded cage , sing your song loud
Freedom is about speaking what must be said.
to those who really need to take consideration. !
