Freedom of Speech

The freedom of speech
           Should never be obstructed
                   Not taken away
          To be silenced, is like death
        Trust me, I know from the past

W.A. Cholt February 20, 2019 at 5:01 PM Good poem. We need to educate and remind one another of this vital truth. Throughout history we see that Tyrants have always opposed free speech. Heidi Sands February 20, 2019 at 5:33 PM You are absolutely right. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it :)
