Freedom of Speech

 

Freedom of Speech

Social networks censor the news,

they watch every post that you make,

but mostly those with different views,

they rid them and call the news fake.

Freedom of speech, under attack,

in public you don’t have a say,

these wall street-savvy behemoths,

in the soviet U.S.A.

Just look who’s being indited,

for disclosing meme crimes and sins,

Julian Assange for starters,

accused by congressional spins.

Establishment news prevails,

Obama who gave them that right,

expanding their war on people,

regardless of how just your fight.

While Edward Snowden did warn you,

of unlawful spying renditions,

in the west there are no borders,

when viewing their extraditions.

Now in medical tyranny,

with censors that work overtime,

while pushing their masks and lockdowns,

and enforcing them with their fines.

I emphasize this now sternly,

our communities are at stake,

your silence concedes our freedoms,

yet decisions are yours to make.

You have to stand up and fight them,

so children have freedom of choice,

the future is theirs to live in,

you’re obliged to leave them a voice.
