There once was a soul who fought for free speech,

yes,they actually fought,

(what a gem,what a peach !)

But...


when they came home and told me what they'd done,

I said :"To fight is  STUPID !"

So...they shot me,with their gun!



footnote:I wrote this a few years ago.

you're only free to say what you want until you offend someone

and lately, too many people are getting offended

this hit like a bullet 'twixt the eyes--BRAVA, good on you, mate! *applause*

((((HUGS)))) and love, karla.

keep writing, keep shouting--i love what you have to say :)

I for one would be jailed a thousand times by now if not for freedom of speech.. I don't think many use it to their ability for fear of repercussions.. Great write!!

Wow! Very profound Kay! Freedom of
speech is a funny thing because it
has different meanings for different
opinions and factions.

Very thought provoking write!!!… Enjoyed the read Kay, but freedom of speech wasn’t given to any of us, it was earned by the sacrifices of the dead on battlefields across the globe!!!… Hopefully, in our lifetime Poet, it will all stop!!!
