My Rights

As an American...

I have the right to free speech...

In America...

I have the right to remain silent...

Because I served my country I have paid for the rights of Americans...

Because I am an American...

I have many rights...

But I am invited into your countries and homes each time that I am read...

In many countries I could be jailed or worse for my speech...

But I have the right to free speech...

In America...

I refuse to remain silent!!!

I have paid...

So please as you read my words understand that I am aware of the responsibility that comes with my rights...

I have no intention to incite to riot...

I otherwise have interest in standing idly by in silence...

Hopefully someone shall find peace words...

For I seek peace through speaking my thoughts...

My rights obviously may infringe upon someone else's rights...

Do you know what your rights are...
