Freedom Of Speech And Free Will.

Freedom of speech and free will,
We all have choices in life,
When we don't have to say or do...
Anything that causes us strife!

Freedom of speech and free will,
Gives us the chance to do good,
To make this world a better place,
Because we know we should.

Freedom of speech and free will,
The decision's there to be made,
What do we do me and you?
When we our thoughts can't be stayed!

Freedom of speech and free will,
Sometimes it's very hard,
What do we say, at the end of the day?
When we feel like we're on our guard?

That's not freedom of speech and will,
That's repressive to say the least,
But we have to stay our words,
And hold back that andgry beast!

The beast that's inside us all,
Raring to escape and be free,
But sometimes we hurt with our freedom, And sometimes it's not easy you see!

When we want to exorcise that choice,
We should do so with much care,
We don't want to hurt by what we blurt,
That is thoughtless and without care!

So yes, we have freedom of choice,
But it should be used wisely, and so...
We don't hurt with what we say,
That's wrong, as we all know!

Freedom of speech and free will,
Yes, I must agree it's needed,
But at the end of the day, I need to say,
My words I hope will be heeded?
