In memory of a friend

Inside my head I hear the thunder of change yet to come. Freedom of speech still ringing in my head. Do we still have our freedom of speech or are we just drones led to our death. I don`t want to run and hide and wait for someone else to make up my mind. Where did our ability go to make decisions on our own. We are now at war but what is it we are fighting for. How many do we have to sacrifice for this war to end. Is there any end for this in sight.
