WHEN SPEECH IS NOLONGER FREE

You say we live in the land of the free,

You tell thousands of youths they can see,

New tomorrows as long as they have dreams,

So why is life not all it seems?

You tell me we live in a democracy,

You tell me they is no bureaucracy,

So why is there a block on freedom of speech,

Can't you practice what you preach?

It is the right of each youth to learn,

It is their right to chose and to earn,

Knowledge from everyone and everything,

Please let freedom of speech ring!

The block you set up will not change anything,

Minds have been opened and they sing,

Of new ideas and for themselves they will think

How low you people can sink.

You have taught a lesson dear,

That for the youths you do not care,

Creative Science have taught them much more,

You will never be able to close that door.

For thanks to Abel these youths have learnt to see,

That there is more to life than just "ME",

The love and admiration that has grown is strong,

So what you did was every so wrong.

You cannot stop the seed that we sow

The plant took root and now it will grow,

The blossoms will appear and the fragrance it will release,

Is like the freedom of speech that can never cease.

So shame on you for what you do,

Shame on you for you have no clue,

That your action have given power to the ideal,

Of what is and isn't real!
