Censorship

Censorship, like penmanship-

Must be, has to be legible,

Gotta contain-withhold an

(UN) appropriate language-text

Words.

Items omitted by the “man.”

Age discrimination permitted

Race, gender, orientation omitted.

By all means necessary

To keep,

Our minds, thoughts, ears, and hearts

Free, clear, pure, innocent.

Censor, censored, censorship.

To be censored,

Plug your ears, close your eyes.

  1. falling short in the long term
    quickly we are concerned
    at the way everything has turned
    it's a fairness doctrine
    another curtail of talkin'
    plain speech will now breech
    the securities of those in reach
    no more 1st amendments
    our government are the parents
    a nation of children
    cut loose from the building
    lowering the glass ceiling
    seditious acts that are crippling
    to think freely and speak the same
    blood tainted in the vein
    we've got to stop being constrained
    it should be, simple, clear, and plain.

    ~Craftsmanship indeed--thank you.

    Love,
    Digress.
