Poem
You sit
         With an emotion at the ready.
                      An idea,
               For good or foul 
                     Lingers.
    You pick up pen and ready yourself,
   Thinking of what you want to release.
            The opinion is within.
                  With passion,
    You are obsessed to word what it is           
    That fires your spirit at the moment.           
      What you decide upon as clever
         May soon be released to all.
      The feelings about to be broadcast
 Are to be provided through your authorship.
                  Before you begin
                    Think on this,
                      Will it be:
                A time to be proud?
           A moment of malevolence?
      A period to graze the field of revenge
               For the right expression
             To instill the proper wound?
    Or a plea to an unreciprocated affection?
     Before you bring your ponderings to ink,
                     A bit of parental
                  And protective advice.
               Insurance for your future,   
         Offered from a caring fellow human.
                 Before the writing, think.
                            Are you
               Ready for the world to consider    
                        Your declaration?
                        It's been advised
              By wiser people than thee and me,
                 "Never put anything in writing
                 That you wouldn't want to see
                    In tomorrow's newspaper
    Or on everyone's data processing equipment."
             What you are about to expose
       Will be inhaled by each eye that reads it
                  And exhaled by each
                Spirit that interprets it.  
          Freedom of speech is wonderful.
            It gives you a chance to have
                    A will of your own.
          But freedom is not unconditional.
                 There are limitations.
                Only a certain amount
            Of the rope of independence
              Can be released to allow
            One to have their own say.
         When you set free your ideas    
             You are responsible for
                    The results.
               Just make certain      
                  The length of
          That rope of "your say",
                   Isn't such  
          That it might eventually
                Dangle its author.
