Orator articulates on soapbox with fluency of expression,
lecturing populace on mankind's wrongdoings.
Delivering discourse the right of all,
even when voices shout in cacophany of opposition.
To bury head in emu sand of obscurity
will not hold accountable presidents, dictators nor royalty.
Concealing thoughts can sanction misuse of liberties,
endorsing supremacy, whatever the cost.
Hold head high in pride of self worth,
diverse discourse keeps all answerable.
