Freedom Of Speech Does Not Mean Freedom Of Hate

We preach
And teach hate
While hiding
Behind
Freedom
Of speech
Not caring
Who we hurt
As long as
We get our
Views across
And heard
Are our
Belief's
We are in so deep

Our words
Can kill
And yet somehow
We just won't care
Because it's
Not our problem
For our speech
Is part of
Our freedom
But to this
Extent
Should it be
I mean really
I mean
Just saying

If you practice
Freedom of speech
And spew hate
And those words
End up pushing
Someone innocent

Over the edge
Should that speech
Still really
Be protected?
