The days of being speechless are over

A poem by Erian Bradley

The days of being speechless are over

We now can speak our minds

Without being arrested or fined

Freedom of the press

Yes, it’s important

To you it might be lame

But to me it’s worth a fortune

Without the 1st amendment where would we be?

Still stuck in the old days where us journalists weren’t free

To do what we pleased
