The right to criticise and mock
We should ensure that none can block,
By claiming they’re a special breed
And of protection are in need.
Perhaps they do not like the truth,
But if the speaker has the proof
He ought to be allowed to state
The truth, and not around it skate,
Afraid he might face even gaol,
If for a moment he should fail
To keep in mind that some groups are
Much too sensitive by far,
And will complain if anyone
Of their beliefs would dare make fun,
Or criticise their way of life,
Their morals or their love of strife.
In fairness there should never be
Bars against all speech being free,
Providing that the truth’s being told
And slander’s not allowed take hold.
