Patricia Moran Poet Free verse

Question Is Freedom Speech

My words glide observantly over head
Like fierce hungry birds of prey
They pierce like daggers deep inside
The ears of those way up high

My words are harsh and filled with pain
They watch and ponder with all their shame
Yet they don’t seem to have the might
The force or the strength to fight.
 
They are meant to free us all who speak
Yet I who uses them don’t feel free
What makes my battle any different
That my words can’t seem to bring me freedom.

What good are the all powerful words
If they can’t heal me or my world.

(Written in 9th grade)

Robert Lindley September 19, 2014 at 9:44 AM A good and strong write. Some nations have more freedom of speech than others. They can control to some extent what you speak but not what you think. That is if you have access to the internet and Google you may study anything in the world for free. Great write!!!
