ROMEO

I fear, too early: for my mind misgives
Some consequence yet hanging in the stars
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night’s revels and expire the term
Of a despised life closed in my breast
By some vile forfeit of untimely death.
But He, that hath the steerage of my course,
Direct my sail! On, lusty gentlemen.

Music which has violence shouldnt be banned because music can be about anything anyone wants. There is no reason why it should be banned, people might say it should be banned because it influences children but anyhow children shouldnt be watching it anyway. The music also shouldnt be banned as it expresses feelings and emotions. Also everyone has freedom of speech and can say anything they want unless they offend someone. In addition sometimes rappers might mute the swearwords that they use so that in case children watch it it dosnt influence them.
