Free Speech
I ain't got time for rhyming words
I ain't got time for writin
I only mind my farmin herds
and do my share of fightin
I settled all this land around
and cleared the river spring
just so you could set you down
and let your freedom sing.
so write your poems I don't mind
say everything you feel,
just recall those left behind
we buried in the field.
the ones who never wrote a line
but listened when they heard
the declaration read out loud.........
it's not a dream deferred.
