Freedom of speech in streams of consciousness
Comes to pass when heart, mind and soul cast out
Crushing fear of rebuke or consequence
And affirm power of choice day in day out.
Discourse thrives when free will’s radiance,
Akin primordial glow in woodland dawn,
Enlightens darkness cast by man’s ignorance
And thus endures as freedom’s unique spawn.
In truth, tree colonnades bathed in divine light
Hearten innermost thoughts, feelings and woes
And in short order their stately theme makes right
Grim notions that free speech draws mortal blows.
Judge not free speech as disobedience
Instead of heaven-sent experience.
