Speak Up! Poem by Sandra Feldman

Speak up!
Say what you feel,
Feel what is right
For you and others.
Truth, has special appeal,
The sunshine of clarity,
The essence of tolerance,
The opening of understanding,
And a Song that is Right
That only,
The love in Poetry can write.

Individualism,
Democracy,
Freedom,
The right to speak up,
And in dignity exist
Are our greatest gifts,
Take care of them,
Defend them,
Preserve them
From dictatorial hits
Thank the heavens
That in America,
They still persist!
And Save Them,
Bravely
From Tyranny's
Choking mist.
