Forget About It   - - for the freedom of speech comp

 
Free speech is only fairy tale
Like Jason and the Holy Grail  
 
It's a once upon a time fable
Like that child born in that stable
 
In all reality they just don't exist  
Truth be known, they can’t coexist
 
Free speech was never, ever free
With money and blood as a necessary fee
 
Unable to spill either, really restricts you
Then the realization that you only make do
 
You awake and see how you’re censored
As your government makes you indentured
 
But try as hard as you might
It will be failure in sight
 
For the ‘power of one’ you were told was a lie
You changing things, is just pie in the sky
 
You don’t have a coupon that you can redeem
You can’t blaspheme in an internet meme
 
You can’t express an opinion without getting sued
As all celebrities become so very easily unglued
 
Hate speech, new phobias are all made up
Shouting loudest to force you to shut the fuck up
 
And the biggest offenders to strangle free speech
The over religious in their vast overreach
 
I would argue for speech unrestricted
No censorship laws governmental interdicted
 
I once had a dream, that my speech was free
Ended up in jail where they threw away the key  
 
If you think you have fee speech; you don’t
If you think you’re going to get it; you won’t
 
There will never be a time for back slapping
You have no power, ‘it aint gonna happen’
