Free Speech
They say we have free speech:
But tell how me free is it?
The minute I express myself
and it's something you don't
agree with or believe in my
speech is no longer free.
Don't get me wrong I don't
believe in being disrespectful
or rude.
When a person uses their free
speech as a weapon to tear
another down, it's not right.
However we should be given
a platform, to speak freely as
we want to without a person
judging the way we spoke.
Let's face it we must learn to
agree to disagree. If I stand
my ground for something I
believe in, I shouldn't be in
jeopardy of losing my job.
If I can't express myself
freely, I have been robbed
of my “free” speech.
If one is able to dictate how
and what I speak, I never had
free speech in the first place.
