Freedom To Speak

When you're afraid to speak, you sell your rights for nothing You sell your conscience, your soul and country for nothing When you're afraid to express yourself, you don't subsist You're no longer alive, you're dead, and you no longer exist. Writers, poets, professors, professionals, teachers and students Be not afraid to say something, to tell the truth, to tell it like it is Language is the easiest form of communicating, say it with ease Say it like brave beings and have no fear to face the elements. When you speak, say it loud, with all your might, force and soul Speak like a Hero. Be brave, be fair, be just, and be strong and bold.
