Speech of Freedom I will listen – now tell me what you think And tell me what you think, not what you feel Not what you were commanded by bullhorns Not chants beginning with “Hey! Hey!      ** ** I will listen – now tell me that you think You, not a crowd, a hive, a swarm, a shoal You, not a mood, a whim, a committee You, not a photocopied manifesto Because I want to hear you – you, not echoes I will listen – now tell me what you think

Speech of Freedom - in rebuke of certain Middlebury College students
Speech of Freedom I will listen – now tell me what you think And tell me what you think, not what you feel Not what you were commanded by bullhorns Not chants beginning with “Hey! Hey!      ** ** I will listen – now tell me that you think You, not a crowd, a hive, a swarm, a shoal You, not a mood, a whim, a committee You, not a photocopied manifesto Because I want to hear you – you, not echoes I will listen – now tell me what you think
