The song tells me

"R-E-S-P-E-C-T"

but how can I respect when

my thoughts are censored?

 

Poetry is

   expression.

 

I respect by

   opinion.

You share yours,

I share mine.

 

But can we really discuss?

Is debate an option?

When the world seems to look

             d

         o

     w

  n 

upon free thought, free verse.

 

Who can judge poetry?

When we are here to

express ourselves and

our feelings

our fears

our doubts

our desires

Who is society to judge?

By the poetry which we write.
