Freedom of speech

Freedom of speech
One's only freedom left
The freedom to speak their minds
The freedom to speak out against their leaders
The freedom to say what they want

But wait...
They don't say what they want
They censor themselves
How could one speak
without knowing the words?
How could we talk
without speaking our minds?

Afraid of society
Censorship isn't done by the leaders
We do it ourselves

If we would stand up
when the government censors us
If we would stand up
when our freedom depends on it
If we would stand up
when our hearts tell us to

Why don't we stand up now?
