Freedom of Speech
Is it really freedom of speech ?
Is your voice really heard?
Or is this statement absurd ?
Is it a contradiction or just fiction?
Or is this a perception?
I may speak under correction
Can someone give me direction?
People sometimes share their opinions
Just to be treated like minions
There opinions is not respected
They get corrected ,where is the freedom?
Where is the democracy?
This is pathetic
Who are you as a person?
People start questioning themselves
I don't think it is fair
That is why people keep quiet
Why start a riot?
Their opinions get flushed down the drain
It put people under tremendous strain
It can drive you insane
It causes pain
It'sclouding up your brain
People feel like Zombies
They feel the live outside their bodies
They don't know what is happening
Their feelings and opinions don't get recognised
They don't matter
Their self-esteem gets shattered
They feel broken
This is freedom of speech's "token"
