Freedom Of Speech
Silence is ever so cold
Strong and bold
Sending a message you better hold
I have been told
Close to your heart
Playing a role part
That cannot compare
When one gives the deadly stare
Powerful as a cussing swear
Where?
The antagonist surely would be scared
Stripping the foe spineless and bare
From the emotional snarly snare
My dear white knight
Respect your editorial opinionated right
Watch the bonfire burn
Ask, what have you learned?
About freedom of speech
And did it teach
Whether the message did reach
The border or the beach
Where many will ponder
Those flying machines throughout the blue yonder
Hoping no one will blunder
While they wonder
Family raising
What are those people saying?
And possibly weighing
That communication builds trust
Certainly, it is a must
Or the enemy will walk in
If no one is talking
Or getting fitter
Only angry and bitter
Cutting the deal
Giving it away, claiming a steal
Land sold
Received trinkets and gold
Price that was rendered
Avoiding being dismembered
Fight back my friend
Simply defend
Speak dialogue honest and true
Is what everyone should do
Liberty will ring
Making everyone dance and sing
Discovering the ace next to the king
Surviving the attack
Getting blackjack
Seizing the chips
Headlining all the news clips
Since freedom of speech is not done
Instead, well thought out chit chat is how the war was won
