Best Freedom Of Speech Poems
Freedom of speech is a fundamental need
that is to be express and achieved
Yet it should not rape human rights
or violates others ' beliefs.
are we free to be free
when it comes to poetry
or do we have to pay a fee
for our popularity
are we free to just be
or slaves to the jealousy
that allows us all to see
who belongs here honestly
can we agree to disagree
or give in to hypocrisy
this is not a simple plea
but a bold statement to you from me
Best seller
“Gone Girl” a novel by Gillian Flynn
Riddles, my wife loved games of amusement
I never found out the clue of why
she had gone missing, accuse me?
I was spent on our anniversary
Under mysterious circumstances
Nothing is what it seems
Nick and Amy’s duality
Identity, masculinity
For once I didn’t feel like I was struggling
Iconic cool girl persona
The girl men like Nick want
Never get angry, party girl, let men do what they do
Women’s issues, an essay Amy would write
Molding herself into that girl reinventing herself
Image and alter-ego are everything!
Appearance verses reality
Genuine pleasure to read
Oh, she has the last word
A classic Who done it? distinct subgenre
Surprising and masterfully done
Amy is smart, self-aware with a vindictive psyche
Warning authors of their marriage
Nick’s side or Amy’s?
Two very different humans
They both prove to be unreliable
Awry, a thriller of unease
freedom of speech is our right ~ don't defame those that don't agree with you
Speak stronger and louder with outrage assert
Right, Left or inane, it keeps us alert
Our First Amendment rights
Can be shorn overnight
When the Man shouts “quiet and you won’t get hurt!”
You throngs of foolish Americans, why could you not see
what motivates Trump and overlook the faults of Hillary?
You were blinded by his lies and the blatant mockery
that he made of 200 years of this country's Democracy.
Trump may have won the Presidency but America loses.
When his backers feel the pain from his inflicted bruises
it'll be too late to cry and whimper over their lame excuses
for electing a chump who absuses his power as he chooses.
In the White House he'll blast new rules on his trumpet...
"If a woman is alive and breathing, go ahead and hump it.
But if she's old and ugly you have my permission to dump it.
Grope women and treat them like they are all strumpets."
Now we have a bimbo as the first lady, Milania, we must call.
Those two in Washington will cause America's downfall.
He speaks of creating new jobs and promises to build a wall
but Trump is the serpent in Eden. On his belly he will crawl.
My comments may not please you, but I still have the right
to speak freely of my convictions, just as any of you might.
It was another moment of infamy, that dark election night
when America empowered a man who will never be contrite.
If you think the bickering is over and all is said and done,
don't be fooled by complacency. Trump is ready for some fun.
He'll smirk because he is a jerk and a lying son-of-a- gun.
I wonder now if he'll scowl and claim "It's rigged, but I still won."
This contradictive freedom is often breached,
through disagreements found in free speech.
Offence is not universal but subjective,
variations prevent this freedoms objective.
You will hear opinions that leave you offended,
because not everything in life is that splendid.
Peoples points of view may vary from yours,
so when they do embrace the freedom to ignore.
To not ignore is a freedom to ignore violation,
to then target an individual is called discrimination.
Not because they hurt you or inflicted damage,
but because the adult in you wasn't managed.
Sticks and stones break bones but words will never hurt,
this is taught to kids but often adults fail through effort.
So it's do as we say and not as we do and,
we don't seem to care that we take this stand.
Often adults act childish as those with opposing views speak,
with a weak grasp on being adult adults let emotions leak.
If only we could listen to our own words to kids we would tweak
our own self control and be like the children we forcefully teach.
Freedom Of Speech is just a phrase,
so don't forget the Freedom To Ignore,
because if you are able to stop the rage,
then you my friend will be an adult once more.
It's not funny
To die for the liberty
For the freedom to speak
Freely without fears.
It is not beautiful
to suffer for the rights
To use simple or single words,
To write truthfully, to shed lights
On everything, which is distasteful.
Freedom of the Press
Must be fundamental,
It is the very foundation of true
Democracy, which is a form of wisdom.
A great Nation wants nothing less
Than constant criticism from the few.
Bring the projectors, the martyrs,
The cameras, the writers,
The headlines, the headlights
Of the intelligentsia, to educate the mass,
The unemployed and the underprivileged
The real Heroes
Are never afraid to die,
For the words,
For the pens, pencils
Brushes, and crayons;
The dead heroes
Are our eternal champions.
The sick cowards
Are afraid of the words.
They are unreasonably angry,
Because they kill and hide
Like rats, like rodents.
The freedom of expression
Is absolutely warranted,
And is basically normal.
Open up, open wide to speak out,
Scream and shout.
This is fundamental
In a true democracy.
It is not funny or freaky,
To die for free speech.
However, it's too early
to die for the expression
Of simple words.

I find it wrong of you to punish me,
What kind of mother are you trying to be?
In a situation like this, I need help,
Why can't you hear my silent yelps?
It's sad that you're more concerned about you,
I'm your only daughter, I hope you're embarrassed too.
One day I hope you feel like a terrible person,
By not helping me now, my life might just worsen.
Soon enough, you will take the load of blame,
And I will be a wild animal, unable to tame.
Don't come crying to me at that point,
I will do nothing to you but disappoint.
Don't start acting like you care now,
That is one of the many things I will not allow.
Is it not obvious that i don't want you in my life?
Between us there is and never will be any strife.
Some of your actions are so compulsive,
I hate to say it, but you're repulsive.
You ask me why I want to go to college so far away,
And now you're on your knees begging me to stay.
I can't handle being stuck with you all the time,
But still you try to figure out why I'm losing my mind.
I know you're my mother,
But you don't need to swarm and smother.
What don't you understand about me wanting to be alone?
It's like every time I say that, your mind is blown.
Please give me some space, let me be me,
I don't need you to protect me when I fall to my knees.
You make yourself seem like the only person I can rely on,
Please don't try to contact me when I'm gone.
I honestly don't need you mom,
Please oh please, remain calm.
Freedom of Speech

Freedom of speech, an amendment right
Gives us the voice for every fight
To have no fear, of what we say,
For better lives, it's freedom's way
We have the right to use it wrong
For foolish things that don't belong
To have no thoughts, that what we say
Will not bring us to a better day
To quote the right, just for it's sake
And not discuss with give and take
To shove amendment one in face
Doesn't get us to a better place
If what we say is in our hearts
Yet what we speak tears us apart
Maybe we should stop and say
There has to be a better way
To say it is the easy thing
To do it you must wear the ring
Do all the things that you can do
Then the First Amendment works for you
Freedom of speech is an expression of views
from someone you don't like!
And tolerating dirvegent views
you don't want to hear!
The man of eloquence
With all the aptness of words
And craft of speech
Silently sits on the fence
Holding his tongue tight
And see the fun when tasteless
Jokes being cracked upon
The poor, weak and downtrodden.
But the dumb knows
Neither rest nor respite
Until he shoots his shouts
Throws his disgust and anger
Through the language of his body
With the help of gesture
Against the filth, lies
Deception and injustice of an oppressor
The man of rhetoric
As if he knows neither the value
Or the power of his logic
His being mute is conspicuously inauspicious
As if he never joined to earn
The right of freedom of speech
Whereas, the dumb man
Knows the meaning of sound
The value of the words
So he tries to articulate them
With utmost care and sincerity
Whenever he sees a slightest opportunity
Against an unjust or a wrong
As he knows speech is a special gift
Either from nature or from god .
But the man with gift of the gab
Wastes it when he holds his piece
Or misuses it when he spreads
Hatred and blatant lies in fear, in greed.
Wind whistled in the trees, dropping pinecones on the ground
The blue shade of the mountains, merged with the sound
The cool breeze touched my face, waking me for the day
Opening up doors of freedom for all I want to say
Freedom of speech, is something we must keep!
We are lost without it, from all that we reap
Stand strong with everything that you have to say
What happens tomorrow also comes from today!

I’m flatter by the system it’s not corporate it just ain’t witness
If every answer came out of the air or thin hair we could do what Moses did and part
The sea
Thoughts that come and thought that play around on time line
I never lost faith in the system the system never characterize a belief
All I ask is can I testify and take it to the streets
If I pledge the alliance does the star mean another
Hero has fallen
Thoughts that come and thought that play around on time line
If word fragments dawn and never waking how would I plead the fifth
Answer out of a page or history book let one judge
Thoughts that come and thought that play around on time line
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
Freedom of speech is not what we want to hear
Freedom of speech is harsh criticism we bear
Let the critics speak without fear
Freedom of speech is the fundamental principle of expression
Let's not oppress speakers by giving them concession.
Note. Abusive language is inappropriate.
