Free Thought
I make no trouble
I don't bother anyone
I just spend my time thinking
and I think it's important we share our thoughts
because that's called conversation
Free thought used to be common
you could find it everywhere
but free thought now gets you in trouble
If you have an unauthorized thought
they will come after you and
get you fired or imprisoned
Free-thought is dead
it died several years back
we were all there for the funeral
Free thought used to be a right
it was guaranteed
now it's censored
blocked or
cancelled
but give it a try anyway
it won't hurt and
may inspire someone
to have more thoughts
overwhelm the system with
so many thoughts
it collapses
see what happens
give it a thought.

A topical poem which is an issue of some concern and worthy of a poet who is the voice of free speech and free thought. I am with you all the way on this one. Present day society has people who would silence any free thought. You are right to proclaim this. I refused to attend the funeral.
Thank you
