How Free Are We?

How Free are we here

When we're encouraged to speak up

Then chastised and vilified because truth hurts too much

They cause all our problems

Then hate us for solving

Amazed when we fly

They wanted us falling

They tell us to dream

But won't give us time

Unless it's the most

For fraudulent crimes

You can get killed for speaking so loud

When enough people listen, you lead the crowd

And when they work with you, you have support

Then funds, access, and the eyes of the court

Of public opinion

A culture made weak

Enslaved to the greedy

How Free Are We?
