Consider this,

A man fell into the abyss,

He came back smarter

Seemingly braver.

He has opinions he wants to share,

He has words for those who care

He wants his voice to be heard

So he takes his microphone and speaks

"Hate speech!" they shout

They want to throw him out

For being the one who for the truth seeks.

He doesn't give up, tries again.

"That's offensive," they say

He's now their prey

So he stays quiet and sits in their den.

This man was a brave soul once

But he decided to conform

Because his voice wasn't worth an ounce

Of what it was worth before.

He wanted his voice to be heard

But at what expense?

That of curing someone who's dense?

Say what you want to say

Don't become their prey

Speech is the only freedom guaranteed

Speech is the only thing that will let us be freed.

note: remember, your opinions matter even if they aren't "politically correct" and if someone doesn't listen, hit them with an "okay, boomer" then run.
