 Freedom of Speech

 

When a child is born

So is a mother.

He was her first born

My big brother.

 

She taught him love

To stand proud with courage.

They held my hand

Wanting to encourage.

 

Hope is a fine line

A word still questioned.

Needing to define

My right of expression.

Intriguing - great flow - there must be a bottom level to the meaning - I'm into the third tier or do I read too much into this interesting work?! Nice work.

The audacity of hope is that we are free to express it. It cannot be shouted down by ignorance and doubt. Talk is cheap, but in time, the truth prevails.

Making every word count -- now, that is poetry.
