Freedom Of Speech?

Freedom Of Speech?

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I try to keep my eyes covered

I try to keep my ears blocked

I try to keep my mouth shut

Do not let your opinion be known

Keep everything to yourselves

They make laws about what we know

Jail sentences for what we say

And cancellations if we are right

So, just ignore what you have learned

Freedom of speech is well in the past

Just something you hear about

Something you will never experience 

Something you may regret knowing about

Because soon, even knowing about it will be illegal

Brand New Colours

Brand New Colours

by Lord R.e. Taylor

So many colours

Each comes from a different direction

Mixing and swirling, making new patterns 

New colours flow from the edges

They have no names yet

But some artists, somewhere, will name them

Smear them on a blank canvas

Maybe sell it for a million dollars

All while I watch the swirls and twirls

I will stand around just waiting for the day to end

To see what the world gives me

And what the universe takes away
