How often the phrase
In the interest of Public Safety
Is used to take our free speech away

At the risk of being censored 
I'll say no more.

Obstruction

A change to the Constitution is called an amendment.

Free Speech must be heard
Concerning poverty's speech what should we say of homeless waiting times?

Has anyone notice that
The USA is gradually becoming
A communist country
What happened to free speech
Now it's certain things you can't say

Shall college presidents resign
When the House says words cross the line?
What should we say next
If free speech lacks context?

Free Speech

Free Speech

There is no greater
spontaneity than that
among strangers
who readily converse
honestly, knowing
no one they know
will remember
what was said.

Premium Member Ripped And Dipped

She had wanted to go the beach  
     And yet, she was scheduled to teach
Her swimsuit had ripped
So she skinny-dipped
      Could this be a test of free speech?

Free speech is what it's all about To voice our opinion to shout it out To be not afraid Call a spade a spade Been a while since needing to stand up and shout

May I have a word

Free Speech is a pied-piper
of artificial colours and flavours –
mixing to grey, watching
The Censor’s Army
in red uniforms
march close,
as arson flames
turn to incense.
Who wants to be God?

Premium Member Eap-Hope

The optimist sees hope:

in the springtime sunlight
and the red sky at night
by the common man's foresight
in the free speech birthright

Newsflash

How come they're not trying to ban poison
or knives or sunshine, alcohol, baseball bats, aerosols, chemtrails.
Because those things aren't the two 
that protect the people the most.
Free speech and guns.

Argumentative

One, 
Life long,
Liberty,
Reiterates,
Free speech upon all,
The right to anytime,
Complain about anything.
Even though nothing may happen,
We do it about every theme.
Until the day we die, maybe beyond.

Debate. Gaining critical appraisal? that's just fate! You

It negates all of human, fear and terrors.!

Working on a Home

In every lifetime we live and work
For progress
The court must hear free speech
Or the halls of Congress were useless

I am not a just man
I am only here for world peace 
The thoughts that don't get here
Are the thoughts spoken in wars

No Matter the Cost

Democracy is messy, 
  thank God that it’s not

Tyranny once embedded,
  all freedom is lost

No liberty for the indentured,
  conscription for thought

Free speech for the patriots
   —no matter the cost

Premium Member Flipping Birds

Be seen and not be heard
What old folks as wisdom served 
Till they are alone
In retirement home
They regret saying those words

For children grow up to be
Adults eventually 
And if denied words
They flip the bird
And ignore the old enjoying free speech

Free Speech Miracle Man 5/1/2024 Disruptive behavior, is not covered by free speech. Those practicing this, are guilty of overreach. Nor is free speech a right, to hate or abuse some. It doesn’t make one an entree, and some other a crumb.
