"You are free to sing"

You can speak, you can sing!
You all are free!
To tune the tune of your pipe
And pour your heart, with all your heart
Into the melodious tempo
Swift or slow, you're free.
Singers, sing your songs
Suprano, alto, teno, bass
Even croaking baritone
If you have more, join the chorus!
You all are free!

You can speak, you can sing!
You all are free!
Harmonize your grief
Let your lips proclaim the elegy
With ink, make the lyrics
To the kings, on the streets
Pour your heart, with all your heart
And publish the injustice
Sing to the air, tweet out the crimes
You all are free!

You can speak, you can Sing!
You all are free!
Let it ascend in sharp crescendo
Let it be heard, even beyond
Let your coin cling, Let it blast ears
Pour you wealth, with all your heart
Into the solo, into your egoistic songs
Let other bands cease, Let it echo …
You will be heard, in distant lands
You all are free!

You can speak, you can sing!
You all are free!
Groan your anguish, moan the chorus
Let silver instruments play the music,
If it's not enough, pay backup.
Or listen to the increasing diminuendo,
As it fade and die with your throat;
Even with your life sing the song,
Pour your heart, with all your heart!
You all are free!

Major analysis:
Freedom Of Speech: Everyone Has Voice But Money Is The Volume

Of all the fundamental rights of every citizens in Nigeria, freedom of speech is what baffled me most. Sometimes ago, I thought Nigerians' masses do not have voice; but I have come to realized that, WE ALL HAVE VOICE; BUT MONEY IS THE VOLUME That will make our voice to be heard.

If you don't have money your voice is soundless, hence, "the higher the amount of money you have, the higher the volume of your voice" and vice versa.

Some people express their freedom of speech to themself alone, some to family members, some to friends, some on social media, some to to their leaders, some to younger/older people, some to the world. It's either heard or heard only to a certain levels or go unheard (all depending on your account balance).

this is a country we leave in. I weep for Nigeria... This is why only the rich make decision for the masses...

YOU HAVE A VOICE?? WHAT ABOUT THE VOLUME??
