SPEAK NOW

A thought not shared is lost
No telling what the true cost.
To feel the need, don't question how
Open your mouth and speak now.

We live in the land of the nega-inch
That which we loose can not be unclenched.
Silence is the real censor now.
Protect the difference and speak now.

So many died for us to be free.
I respect you, and you me.
A spark of dissent is the sacred cow
So do what is right, and speak now.

We are judged by what is correct
This is a recipe for a major wreck
It all seems so wrong by me,
Speak now, have peace, be free.
