New Poem: SPEAK WITHOUT BEING SILENCED OR KILLED

Don’t want to have a gag in my mouth placed by the Donald Trump administration dur to dissenting speech.  I believe in expressing opinions whether it's left or right, and nobody should die for dissenting speech. Nobody should die for thoughtless, hate-stoking or overheated speech. I believe that people should be able to debate thoughtfully and not be treated like pariahs.  I believe in speech that doesn't have ball gags over the mouth and passports and visas taken away. I believe people should take very deep breaths and tell themselves: Well, it's that person being that person, and there's no reason to maim or kill that person over what that person says.
