                                                               expression






                                                               By Samyra Saluja (MYP 1)

                                                                   Freedom of expression is not what it is
                                                                   It is not as clear to people as it is in the dictionary
                                                                   It  means  to express  your thoughts,  emotions,
                                                                   and perspective
        The Dream                                                  Only if it was effective
                                                                   Not all people understand this term or accept it


        By Devyaani Agarwaal (MYP 5)                               as a word
                                                                   If only the thoughts emotions and perspectives
                                                                   could be heard
            To explore the skies,                                  Freedom is not what it should be
            to be free                                             We changed what freedom means, we forgot
            what a dream,                                          what it is
            what a dream                                           But some people are still fighting for it
            for the chains of captivity to be unshackled           Let’s get everyone to admit
            such a dream                                           Do they believe in freedom
            in our dreams…                                         Freedom is not what it should be
            for rules to be overruled                              It’s something that should be given attention to
            for regulations to be ignored                          Instead, they treat others like suspension
            for there to be wants over needs                       Freedom is not what it should be
            and freedom over control                               It might not come today this year or ever
            to do whatever you want,                               Definitely not with the fear
            to run in the streets                                  Freedom is not what it should be
            or even own a gun                                      It is like a seed
            to wear a hijab or wear a bun                          In need of help and survival
            be respected as a gay                                  I know that you want your freedom
            and loved as a trans                                   And So do I
            what a dream it would be                               So together let’s change the world
            if that was really our luck…                           And mark my word
            to be seen an equal and to be together as one.         That freedom also needs to be free
