His speech was the start of this war
A political rising star
He pressed buttons best left untouched
Our right of existence crushed
We were rushed to dark spots to hide
Our freedom of speech denied
Instead we were burned, erased, killed
Regardless of the role we filled
He promised to take down the bad
The vaguest law we ever had
Cause its description changed daily
Then society turned crazy
Our rights were set to a pause
We were blamed for the world, its flaws
We became hunted outcasts
Death, mayhem, it all went so fast
I remember how they broke in
As if it was a normal thing
Grabbed us, the neighbors just looked
A pointed finger, all it took
Scapegoats placed outside true justice
Fear based rules, what order is this
Forced into jails made for garbage
With no dignity to salvage
Placed together in a dark place
No space in between, face to face
Our blood could not breathe at all
Our hearts could not beat at all
No longer could we tell past tales
Inform minds on its future fails
Share the wisdom of free thinking
They ignore what we are bringing
The real goal is to kill us all
There is no help that we can call
This situation is absurd
But he declared war on words
If it was written or spoken
There should not be a rule broken
Because that will mean punishment
The guards of words will then be sent
Book, blog, newspaper, magazine
They will never again be seen
A world without words that are free
Is one where life remains empty
Locked away and burned on a pile
While that psychopath wears a smile
It started with his speech
