the tongue of free speech
has come under
attack
by those who want it
hauled off its
track  

were the free speaker
to yield to the Fabian
left
no more would we hear the
alternate tone's
weft
    
the mainstream media
have joined in with the
assailing
for of an independent angle
they'll not be
regaling  

over the next while
there's got to be a stand
taken
if not freedom's voice
will be
forsaken
