...Let’s also consider the question:
Who benefits from this nonsense?
It’s usually the powerful,
in business and government.
Businesses like the status quo,
thrive on a predictable state,
cry ‘hate speech’ at the competition
so they don’t lose their market-stake.
But government if far, far worse,
their power their great addiction,
fearful that someone speaking out
could see all of this come undone.
Corrupt ones, in particular,
know that losing may cost them their neck,
scream ‘hate speech’ at the honest ones
to keep all resistance depressed.
Worse still they all come to believe
they’re kings above the hoi polloi,
aristocrats above mere men.
though they don’t dare to announce this,
thanks to ‘hate speech’ they don’t have to!
Just claim that your words are ‘harmful,’
censor all other points-of-view,
all while claiming to protect right,
the great irony in all this;
there is no such thing as hate speech,
you’re scum if you think that there is.

And when you get right down to it
the mere concept of hate speech is flawed,
there is a reason the founders
put free speech above force of law,
since anything a person says
can offend somebody out there,
offense is taken, never given,
you must control your own despair.
Since is we can what some might hate
we soon would have no speech at all,
and we have inborn rights to speak,
so silencing us isn’t your call.
It’s just a part of adult life,
dealing with what others might speak,
because you’ll face this all your life,
this world wasn’t made for the weak.
Even when we heard others say
something that comes off as pure sh-t,
we may not ever quite agree,
but must stand for their right to say it.
If you cannot accept that fact
then a childish mind have you,
and I’ll pray that you learn quickly,
since you’ve much catching up to do.
If you know all that I’m saying
and still suppress, freedom be damned,
then you’re just the latest tyrant,
and in a just world would be hanged.
We needn’t protect speech we like,
we protect all or we’re amiss,
there is no such thing as ‘hate speech,’
you’re evil if you think there is.
