Free Speech
To be a legend you have to risk it all
for the greater good and what's more great
than freedom.
Free from dominance of popular culture and subliminal
messaging; caressing the idea of gluttony
and power.
Free from domestic enslavement
that serves "the man"
of the House all because of a book.
Free from the dominion over other people
that do not have the right address
I guess if you're not broke, you're fixed.
The kind of fixed where the rich don't change;
only the poor do; getting poor-er
and poor-er
The kind of fixed where takers don't receive
and receivers don't take
The kind of fixed that only a people can break
I never elected my government, but
it has taken all that I have received
Reciprocity is only fair.
