A Stanza on Freedom

"They are slaves who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak; They are slaves who will not choose Hatred, scoffing, and abuse, Rather than in silence shrink From the truth they needs must think. ...
By James Russell Lowell
 
I will speak and hold back No syllable of truth.
Why should we soothe Your ears with stories, only to appear Liars thereafter? Truth is always right."
