Silenced

Free Speech voices
The people’s choices.

Yet power means more than principle,
They have succumbed to something so unthinkable.
The right, the left, the centre too,
The up, down, south, and north,
We need to hear all points-of-view.

Deafened to the sounds of some, shall not hear and cannot see.
Will not learn to overcome, that to which they disagree.
We preach about the freedom of speech that our father’s father’s fought for,
Yet I feel more silenced than have ever before.
