Expression

a rite of passage

If you think heavy thoughts

be careful what you say

what most find acceptable

is "Have a nice day"

 

Not hard to understand

why this is so true

with the widespread belief

about fearing what you do

 

Fear has always been part

of every animals thought

death is around the corner

for those ignoring what they are taught

 

Anything in life this true

that survivors have known

is passed on to their offspring

for their future to be shown

 

If you turn any tame animal

out to live in the wild

their life will be in jeopardy

and be anything but mild

 

This is about what you've heard

you must think before you speak

if your thoughts are acceptable

you won't be seen as being weak

 

On the other hand you know

you can think what you want

enjoy your own beautiful mind

without ever saying I can't

 

Freedom of expression

can never be guaranteed

but having a sound mind

is all you really need
