And What Does

And what does one say
when the thought is so raw,
shared and bare
to the touch?
Do we ignore,
watching the fade,
saying the words
were too much?
Many a heart,
opened their mouths,
blurted, deliberate truths.
The fact of the matter,
how it is said,
Gives credence
To wisdom for youth.
Shall we ignore,
In our comfort zone
Only to share aptly worded?
To say what is pleasing
Graced, as it were,
Defining expression and reason.
And what would one say
As we bid so long,
To a man known for his passion?
Opening a door into freedom
A speech, will be heard as his last one.

Although I never knew Mr. Carlin, nor did I agree with his
raw out take on life,I do think freedom of speech is a responsibility that is fought for, on all fronts. In many ways, I feel he is deserving of respect for his contribution.

I agree
