Quatrain of Speaking Openly

Speaking Openly - more important than
you think

Once true freedom of speech is
compromised, even a little,
freedom begins to
fade.

No matter how abhorrent the
words, you should have the
right to let them be
made.

Free speech is essential for the
breath of life, without it,
autonomous ideas cannot
flourish,

Be sure you stand up to all that
is said, hate it or not,
otherwise, freedom
will not flourish.
