When freedom of speech no longer becomes available
When the words that you preach are no longer speakable
And the protests you attend are no longer reachable
And everyone has a piece of tape over their mouth
Afraid to step out of their lane and say the wrong thing
When the government has you ******* in a metaphorical chain
And threaten to put actual chains on you if you say something they don’t like
What will you do then
When the people you once looked up two have marks on their skulls where the thoughts of a rouge brain were made
If freedom of speech becomes unavailable
Would you wish you had actually spoken up when you could
Or would be to afraid of having a stain on your permanent record
Because freedom is no longer acceptable in the eyes of a leader who chooses his Florida mansion over the children you have nurtured for way longer the he was in charge
When you are no longer free
Your mind because a cage
And you wish you could see a future where you are allowed to preach
Instead of a future of which you are punished for the words you speak
Because without freedom of speech
We are becoming the brain dead zombies we watch on our full screens
