Our country was founded On concepts, enchanted, Still, we all, to this day ... Take so much for granted. We subsist in a nation, Where a gripe or confession, Can be stated in public ... Without fear of repression. But this sacrosanct liberty Is now used as a tool ... By those whose objectives, Are hateful and cruel. I fear that our founders, Didn't quite have in mind, The way their amendment Has been boldly maligned. We've lauded our Fathers' Decrees for free speech, Still a caveat, priceless, We don't always teach. That whatever you utter, Detrimental or good ... Because you CAN say it, Doesn't mean ... That you SHOULD.
