BEING FREE…

There is no being free
when they tell us what to do
discouraging free speech
our right to cheer or boo

respecting someones rights
even if you don't agree
shows just how far we've come
in this fight for sovereignty

but the bullying and threats
coming from the "crown"
don't help to build us up
they only tear us down

there is no higher ground
being brainwashed by a crowd
just following the herd
because they scream so loud

distorting and demeaning
the words we hold so dear
don't do us any good
it just inspires fear

proclaiming that we're free
like some teenage spoiled brat
is such a great disservice
it takes much more than that

our rights are slowly vanishing
right before our very eyes
and quickly we're becoming
all the things that we despise

watching all this discourse
the ignorance we see
is nothing but embarrassing
that's not.., being free.

how many crimes are committed in the name of Freedom,No one likes his restrictions even if they are gold.Your freedom ends where the freedom of others begins

It would be nice if we could jusr respect one another...

Respectful discussion is good! We don't have to agree but we should be able to talk respectfully with those of varied opinions. That's freedom!

I couldn't agree more... Seems we just shout over each other, these days!

You have just made me realize so much more about Freedom(Relatively Speaking) ... to me it's FREE- DOM

Quite amazing thought's on this one really nice !!
