Censorship

C ome to think of it,  everything offends them,  of late.
E ven the most trivial thing on earth,  they hate.
N egativity seems to run in their veins from birth
S tupidity never had a cure,  it needs no effort.
O bnoxious to the point that it stifles our art
R epugnance is my reaction from the heart.
S urrender to their whims is but sheer unreality
H owever much they try to silence my poetry
I  n Truth I stand and will never bend my words
P oets must be true and poems are my swords!

True and well written. And without being narcissistic, I want to write my words out there, whatever society thinks about it. Many wishes to you, Kai
