Freedom of Speech

by Bill Turner   Apr 13, 2007


Freedom of speech is not free
Responsibility comes with the words you use
Everyone is equal
Even the reverend al
Despite his pious, self serving view
Only he does not get it
Mainly because he is racist

Oh yes he is
For he does not want accountability

Special treatment for his interests
Preaches the narrow minded man
Everyone should be treated the same
Each of us is equal to the other
Careful reverend al
He watches us all from above

    If equality has ever existed, we lost it long ago. We have to be able to take the consequences for what we say. But these days no one knows how to do that. Its quite pathetic really. What goes around comes around I guess. Great write. Really enjoyed this one.

    All the best,

    If only we were all treated equally and accepted the fact that no one is better than anyone else.

    You have once again portrayed a very important lesson with just a few strokes. Awesome!
