Question Is Freedom Speech

My words glide observantly over head Like fierce hungry birds of prey They pierce like daggers deep inside The ears of those way up high My words are harsh and filled with pain They watch and ponder with all their shame Yet they don’t seem to have the might The force or the strength to fight. They are meant to free us all who speak Yet I who uses them don’t feel free What makes my battle any different That my words can’t seem to bring me freedom. What good are the all powerful words If they can’t heal me or my world. (Written in 9th grade)

A good and strong write. Some nations have more freedom of speech than others. They can control to some extent what you speak but not what you think. That is if you have access to the internet and Google you may study anything in the world for free. Great write!!!
