You Can't Silence A Thought (poetic ' verbal handcuffs' version)

You can silence a word, but can't stop a thought

Beliefs and humanity cannot be bought

You can't crown yourself, king of the land

By putting handcuffs on words and a hand

 

Taking away peoples freedom of choice

By limiting the access to a critical voice

You've lost the argument, you cannot compete

So you ban a debate , in case of defeat

 

By putting handcuffs on words and a hand

You become the dictator of the land

Where beliefs and decency cannot be bought

You can silence a word, but can't stop a thought
