Some say talk is cheap.

Many have paid a high price.

Freedom is not free.

May ripples of LOVE
become waves of PEACE

Some words may be free
But the truly priceless ones
Are the ones least heard...

Sometimes it's hard to speak up, and we have to do it anyway, for freedom's sake. At least that's how I feel.

MARK! hello again my friend. Thanking you, again.

Skyshine, thanks! yes, it's important to speak out freely, whether or not we hold to the 'popular' opinion.

Actually I'm surprised at how many think freedom is free...and how many think freedom will never be challenged...James

nope, talk is not cheap... try dialling an international number particularly from Europe to Asia on the mobile phone...  

jokes aside, this is a well done senryu...

regards,
sudhir

(big hugggsssssss) There is a whole new synonym for the consequence of speaking out, it's called "Dixie-Chicked" (sad sigh) Frankly I have much more respect for the Dixie Chicks than ever for reminding America what freedom of speech could be if we really tolerated it, God Bless You, I will pray and pray I must, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

It is true that talk is not cheap, but it often is discounted.  It is a human tragedy that some must pay full price.

Midnitesun - You're so right, it's not free, but I think that some believe it is...

You really got me thinking.  Sometimes that is dangerous for me.  They say I think too much.  But your inspired words are expanding in my mind.  Oh no...I think I feel a poem waiting to happen here.  We shall see over the next few days...what will be will be.

Thanks for making me think!
