Freedom of Speech PoemLet it ring let it ringEver one have the right to say what they wantThey have the right to do what they want.They have the right to stand up for what they want.They have the right to freedom of speech and say what they want.
Let it right let it ringNow if you are the ones that cant take it.Don’t listen to what anyone said.Don’t repeat it back.Don’t cause stiff about the problemRemember what ever you take from someoneLook for it to be taking back from you.
