| Freedom of Speech |  |
| Devious energy of Suggestion
A similar yet small percent
Pretend to Communicate right questions
Without ever being present
While brothers go down in flames
Following Grandfathers path
Counters of University names
Blurt utterance of Peace in wrath
A bleak code of confrontation so small
Identifying a section of US
Use condemnation dishonoring US all
That is your pious success
Fathers trod desert areas
And commit to future operation
While some frolic in fouled Freedom
Earned by past human liberation
Some announce infantile fuss
Pretending to be robbed of Honor
Volunteer youth risk All for us
And some judge safely behind their armor
Of course Peace is the desired way
Peace is not known only to you few
Should we just pray evil away
What are your senses telling you? | By Dawn Matley Maselli
