Free Speech

Free speech in a time where millions of people go voiceless; black ink statistics on a cold, white sheet of paper. Free speech in an era where communication and technology have never been more accessible, yet nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names. Free speech where countless minutes are spoken away on cell phones, but is anyone listening? Free speech and women are still persecuted for being a woman. Free speech and children are being raped every day. Free speech and people are still being sold as economic commodities. Free speech and the United States is one of the world's leading dealers in weaponry. Free speech and Atlanta was number one in the United States for people living in poverty. Free speech and we still don't know how to love one another. Free speech yet injustice abounds. Free speech yet my question remains: What are we talking about? "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." ~ Romans 12:21 "Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." ~ I John 3:18
