While some poems are light and airy <br />Others may be sad or disgusting or scary. <br />One writer’s work may offend; <br />Another feels compelled to defend. <br />But all have the right <br />To expand narrowness of sight, <br />Clear cobwebs from the attic <br />Bring in a breath of fresh air; <br />Move you to another plane <br />Where life might be a bit insane. <br />It’s not all nice and sweet <br />Life isn’t at all discreet, <br />It’s in your face and has a place <br />Just like all those who write about it. <br />So I want to hear what they have to say <br />Each in his own way; <br />Each given freedom to express. <br />Why paint on an empty canvas <br />If you can’t use ALL the colors?<br /><br />Carolyn Brunelle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/freedom-196/
