A Battle for Words

Title: A Battle for Words

In the realm of free expression’s fight,
A law emerged, casting shadows of fright,
Irish legislation, curtailing voices bold,
Where freedom of speech, now appears sold.

Oppressive measures, veiling liberty’s glee,
Silencing thoughts in a land once free,
Vance slams the chains on minds that soar,
Where truth and dissent, now tremble on the floor.

But words are not mere toys in a game,
A weapon, a power to set aflame,
Through ink-stained verses, souls ignite,
Defiant hearts refuse to take flight.

Let us gather, poets and dreamers alike,
Defending the sacred, where freedoms strike,
For the pen remains mightier than the sword,
Guiding hearts towards unity and accord.

With resilience, we rise, voices unbound,
Defending free speech, on common ground,
Rallying together, a chorus, we sing,
In this battle of words, hope we bring.
