Chaplins For It Now

A man with shoes too big, to fill,)
Silently shows a dictators thrill
A chill pervades my mind and soul
I try to find,  true narrative or goal
Pale of face, what did he know?
Will he be charged ' for disinfo?
There is chance that's crazy true
When Is silence disinformation?
I'm really thinking  to ask  of you?

thanks for the further explanation underneath here, Joe! That's so funny to imagine him right now silently portraying the evil leaders. We would know exactly who he was imitating.

Well poetry Andrea Its full knowledge, is beyond me and I Would think all people to different degrees.? So it's no Doubt speaking on a few levels ( for instance a piece I wrote I found on the net ) had been placed in a Venn diagram And some educators studied it mathematically.? Anyway that's life God bless.'

This took off on me Andrea.' I Had first off, an idea about if Chaplin were alive would he be Ordered to stay silent.? As he Did good work parodying Hitler in WW2 So I think he would have got involved here.' And then there are those who Are silent because of the Heavy emotional pressure will They be accused of not joining In with the false narrative.? And those who promote as you hint at ' What depths will be not dredged.? This write definatley was not All of me I'm sure.'

Great verses, having a significance in reality. People are silent asChaplin it comes to free speech.they deserve it, so afraid too express this in poetry. Americans are up to voting for freebies.not freedom. Cheeseballs or friends of China run the US government. It’s really sick. Pangie

Well you would never know Caren..? It's all in the Prop-up-gander.) truth it seems might not get a look in.' Specially when a spin sets in.' If enough experts.. At least 3! and gates-full of money seems To be part; of the phenomen-omen-ahh' that first bit..' Two long weeks it seems..? Is also a fluid point of Defininative understanding or so it appears.? The point between certainty and fantasy, is a matter Of the perfection to a rejection of sociable humanity.'

Nothing is sacred anymore Joe, never thought i would see the world change so much towards the left and woke, someone extremely powerful as got to be behind it all, as their policies seem to cover the whole planet within days. There are so many issue that it is hard to put one's finger on any given thing. Or is it only the old and historics, that has seen a different way of life. When a theatre group came across with sexual innuendoes to children as young as 5, why were they not arrested?

It's just pressure on guilt or imagined/projected guilt it's All about celebrating cultures, that are being destroyed, As cultural identity takes decades and centuries to get Established things like hopscotch which is about the souls Journey in a Christian perspective punch and Judy shows Which were parodies of real interaction between women & men.. So why are they dissapering.? If there is great appreciation Harry.? Oh try satan for one.'
