What Is Free Speech?

The author is advocating for real freedom of opinion and expression.

Legislators tell us that free speech is a constitutional right of every citizen,

Yet they fight with one accord against the people who speak the truth.

Politicians become so agitated when someone exposes their evil plots.

They try to silence the persons who speak out against injustice and corruption.

Furthermore, they even violate the rights that they say the citizens have.

According to the education that we have received, what is free speech?

Free speech is the right to express publicly any views without censorship or restraint.

This means that we can freely agree or disagree with anyone or anything.

We have the right to say whom or what we like or dislike without persecution.

Nothing other than this is free speech; it is a false claim and a deceptive law.

Author's Note

The struggle for justice will continue until we achieve our aims.

Reviews

[Lara]

True freedom is a cold wilderness.
No one really wants that.

[Poet Pittinix]

The people who are leading us are playing us for fools.

[Lara]

Could well be. It's a balancing act to maintain freedom. To conserve a state of liberty while sustaining civil society. No doubt things may be out of balance in that regard - all over the world.
