Freedoms

You have the freedom to say what you want,
Articulating every passing idea and thought.
Don’t hold your tongue and censor your voice,
Speech is a right, not just a choice.

You have the freedom to believe what you choose,
Dabbling in the teachings of Jesus, Mohammed, and Buddha too.
Practice your religion through actions and prayers,
To tell you you’re wrong would not be fair.

You have the freedom to write to your hearts content.
As long as it’s truthful, it’s time well spent.
Inform the public in black and white,
After all, it is your right.

You have the freedom to have an opinion
And change the rules of your dominion.
If you know something’s wrong, tell us about it.
Don’t be timid, scream and shout it.

You have the freedom to assemble your countrymen
And protest the issues that matter to them.
It’s a democracy, and you know it,
Take hold of your rights and vote for it.
