Censorship
Dedicated to the first amendment..
Censorship. What we can see and hear.
Limited. Possibly to stop mass fear.
Or perhaps, censored so we adhere.
To the facts that remain unclear.
Some don't even know about it.
How our vision is clouded.
How some information is outed.
For own good? I doubt it.
Given the facts, we may pay attention.
Shifting their agenda, their elections.
So even the news goes through an inspection.
Leaving behind fragments of their own selection.
Censoring out discipline, for public disrespect.
Like when Chris rock thought he could speak about Jada's head.
A Censored broadcast aired in the U.S.
Guess we shouldn't teach our youth what should and shouldn't be said.
How about all the innuendos?
Kids shows.
Like cow and chickens episodes.
Little weenie, Tongue Sandwich, or Horn Envy.
Yet they censor out the 94th Academys?
Slapgate?
Standing up for family?
How about Callilou? I've never seen a kid so bad, have you?
Yet it made it through..
And watch by children age two.
Even Facebook participates.
Posts getting cut, wiping the slate
Misinformation? Or facts in which we can relate?
Wiped clean before there's even a debate.
So we have freedom of speech, that's not so free.
Censorship on what we hear and see.
Oh, let's talk about property.
What we pay for, you and me.
Do you think you own it? Well let's just see..
Bought a car lately?
Vehicle taxes must be paid yearly.
So we pay them to own property.
In the land of the free, idiocy!
Okay, but at least we are all treated equal.
Well here's a sequel?
Cannibis, in some states legal.
Yet cancer patients, in SC aren't equal people?
On and on, I could go on forever.
This country ain't getting any better.
Better be a light stepper, rule abiding treadder.
Not a collector.
A fact professor.
Better be a sheep, in the herd, giving in to the pressure.
Led to the slaughter, by our elected.
Americans free and protected?
A nation infected.
By choice.. Selected..
No voice.. defected.
