Remember what it was like when nothing you said mattered. Nope? Me too. Write a poem about people judging your every word.

Speech

Society, I disagree--

Haha, I mean

I'm just joking

My hand, it slipped

The ink, it dripped

I didn't mean to

Send that message

Please pardon my grave

Transgression

But, no, you know what?

Those words I wrote

Were no mistake

I'll not take back

The things I think

I'm sorry if I am

Offensive

I try to see from each

Perspective

If I'm offending you

Do let me know

So my words can be

More effective

But if you're just trying

To silence me

Let me remind you

I have the freedom of speech

But hypocrites criminalize

My opinion

While they're campaigning for people

To be more accepting

Call me whatever you want

The only way you'll shut me up

Is to hand my soul to God above

Which means my work on earth is done

Good riddance!
