Dont censor

You are gagging me with your laws

and binding me with your rules

It is not for the good of the people

It is for the good of you

I want to throw aside your shackles

Don't pull me under your bridge any longer

I'm ready to cross it

We all are.

Time to cut the stitches that bind our lips

We are ready to speak the truth

Our truth, not yours

Stop being afraid of something as harmless

as words.

There is a first amendment error error pouring from my mouth

Let's do away with the tabu's

and call them normalities

Stop beheading my creativity

no more lies and half truths

only our words.

Our tongues will fly now

higher than a bird of paradise

and even more colorful.

Let us end this oppression of expression.

You make a valid point, that there are many people who would sensor the free thought of others. I'm not sure if you ment to mispell tongues, or not. Thought id mention it. I personally, have traveled the country extensively, and found that this persecution and sensoring of free thinkers is not as bad as this poem makes it. In alot of cases, people are just unaware of how to make their voices heard. That is why kudos to you who challanges us to be free, on the writerscafe! It's one of the great things about this place. you can speak your mind, with out fear. Keep up the good work!

Wonderfully written, with valid points. Excellent. Nicely done.

Yes, we are supposed to have freedom of speech but censorship has become the rave. You are a deep thinker and you express yourself so well.

I like it. It speaks the truth. People bossing around others not letting them speak there minds or have a say. Very powerful. Great job!

Agreed. Great writing.

My Queen II-

I already bought into the Ice Queen of the Vampires, but I have room to expand and include a different queen.

This was a wonderful piece. I am a firm supporter of the freedom of speech even more than reasonable. I am much of the opinion, "Why don't people just post what they want, and we can ignore the parts that are really problematic." There are issues about defaming people's character, and you just should not do this anyways. But, what is up with all the censorship of non-destructive materials? I can understand not yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater, but there are good reasons for this.

"You are gagging me with your laws
and binding me with your rules
It is not for the good of the people
It is for the good of you"

What a great way to start this piece! Who are these people who think that they know better than you what you should be writing? How many times can we vote against them in the next election?

Great work! Luv'dit!
