By their stray words

In their use of the Freedom of Speech

Their positions can be heard

Whether they be careful in how they speak

Or callous and absurd

And you will come to know

If they be hero’s to life or life’s greatest foe

From the mere latitude in the use of a word

Or the absence of certain exclamations

Which by now you have or haven’t heard

And it reveals

Who should be put first

Or who should stand last, as if accursed

And you will know them

By their use of slurs and words

Which dehumanizes others lives
