Cunning Attacks On Freedom Of Speech Poem by Terence George Craddock

it is true writers poets
journalists observe witness
feel then emotive write
an interesting point;
is the word 'wise'
dictators first imprison
or kill opposition
like scholars teachers poets;

political opposition that opposes
them several present governments
cunning suppress critical voices;

claiming this to be hate
speech or comment
that public might offend;

poverty attacks on freedom offends
injustice political fake news spinners offends
increasing mass public shootings offends
