Censured Notions

Gone are the days where a voice can be heard
All messages dissected to find meaning blurred
Someone find offense  from any word that is said
And from that offense Their objective is spread
Freedom of speech is a thing of the past
Cancel Culture’s hell bent to ensure it wont last
The snowflakes have spoken and the world now takes heed
The Me-Tooers and naysayers have heard and agreed
If I speak out about anything an attack I’ll elicit
If I keep my mouth shut somehow I’m complicit 
So what do you do as one of the damned
The world has gone mad and it seems like its planned

Love, love, love, this one, Joseph. And it is all planned, almost no doubt, by the big-moneyed control freaks behind all of this protesting 'wokeness.' The George Soros types fund all this nonsense, just as they were funding waves of immigrants from Honduras til Trump figured out how to shut it down... :)

I especially like the lines 9 and 10. I began to think it was me that was going mad as the world that I grew up in wasn't perfect but so different than to days mayhem and madness. Thank you Joseph, I enjoyed reading your poem.
