What is free speech Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is exactly what is says on the box <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I want to say anything <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if it is considered offensive <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then I should be free to do so <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are those who are offensive to me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do you feel about that Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel nothing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why should I feel anything <\/p>\n\n\n\n
People are being arrested <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For praying silently in the street <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One can not make it up <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The absurdity screams <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I said something unpleasant <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then it is probable that I would be accused of a hate crime <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is a hate crime <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the opposite of a love crime<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I said to a friend from overseas <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You black cunt <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then I would be expressing a humour and nothing else <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I would be in the shit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Would you say that to a friend <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is unlikely but I am exhibiting a point <\/p>\n\n\n\n
People who hang around out outside clinics <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are not breaking any laws <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are just sharing their beliefs <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And should be free to do so <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are they your beliefs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I always see the circle <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the past you have supported direct action <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do not condone direct action <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But consider it a possibility <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you consider that some people <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make themselves targets <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes usually through their own stupidity <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a politician was assassinated <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What would be your thoughts <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obviously I would regret the event <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I am a man of peace <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who was raised in a church <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I would recognise the absurdity <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In your poem Mad Dogs <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You discuss your love of animals <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But also mention that you would not hesitate <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To shoot a mad dog if it was causing harm to an innocent <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read the poem again and again Martin <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And give me your thoughts <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
