Freedom of
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
