Speak Your Mind MAG
Why do you believe
What you believe
Are you really free to speak
Writing threats to those you seek
Do you really have the right?
To publish and proclaim the power of white
Who put these thoughts into your head?
Mom? Dad? Or the Demons under your bed?
Are you really as free as you thought?
Or are you afraid of being caught?
Can you speak your malicious rearing?
And not care just who is hearing.
Is your speech really free?
Or struggling through conformity?
Will someone try and bring you down?
Because you are not the puppeteer's clown
If you don't follow the rules just right,
For your beliefs will you stand and fight?
Do you believe enough to die?
Or are you spreading someone else's lie?
