Poems - 2. Speak

Free speech hits an all time low

When it's oldest advocates stop fighting the flow

Of conformity; because it's the easiest way

Conformity is just everywhere these days

When a single voice is ceased to be heard

An opinion is much more than just words

But a message that deserves to get out

That is what free speech is all about

Hearing a philosophy this is different from the norm

Or else it is difficult to decipher yourself from the swarm

Of that certain image they say you were born to fit

And you've got no choice but to go along with it

So lets stop this because before you know

Free speech will hit an all time low

I like this one. It encompasses what is happening these days. There have been a lot of talk about the restrictions and hinderances to free speech as we knew it.

I think you've poured out what you wanted to say, very well.

Free speech problems have always bothered me. I think it's sick that there are people who choose what's appropriate for us to hear. Anyways- glad you liked it. :D
