“Wherever the relevance of speech is at stake, matters become political by definition, for speech is what makes man a political being.” Hannah Arendt
Articulated matters are political,
You really know this very well.
And speech is always relevant. You’ll find
When man is free to speak and to be critical,
The system which allows him to be heard
Allows a certain mind, more analytical,
Than one supposes might exist among the herd
Of sheep one deems his followers,
To question his every word.
And questioning has never undermined
Our politics completely, that’s a fact,
And questioning must take the form of speech,
And speech requires our systems left in tact,
Which grant communication in full flow.
The place for bullying and over-reach
Is Hell
Where ‘Liberals’ go who do not wish to know.
