Freedom of Speech

In a land that slaughters babies
where critique gets you arrested
old ladies will complain
when you exercise it
white people it seems
have more rights than
the oppressed
many dead
they wear orange hats
Cinderella fears them
these old witches
brewing racism and hate

Arthur, the same old and sad story continues. A lot of good people are fighting to stop this pattern, but much bigotry remains to address. Thanks!
