Electronic Assassinations
It was a strange day when I realized
I couldn't talk to strangers anymore
the connection I had with them seemed to be disabled
seems I'd been kick out through some unacceptable door
free speech and opinions where no longer enabled
and a blank white screen was all I had
there was a message but no warning
of the disconnection that was coming
concerning the why's, the wherefore and what for
no agreement or dissension done with no discussion
deleted from my family and deleted from my children
deleted from my strangers and deleted from my friends
seems the easy click of being deleted
had this repercussion which effected us all
no more different ways to see things
and no more dangerous information
posted to my wall
this wasn't some theory of conspiracy
this was a reality
I could offer no resistance
I had simply vanished into the stillness
by electronic assassinations that keeps the voices of a difference
no longer in existence
seems that assassination is always the preferred method of silence
by digital excommunication
or a bullet to the brain then
remember Luther King and J.F.K.
cover ups just happen every day
a red flag to the people
telling them yes this could happen to you to
so you better keep your mouth shut all the same
tone it down and keep it quiet
don't ruffle up the censors feathers
remember the fact checkers
are there to monitor your call
so never talk to strangers
never support your friends
don't ever get angry
don't tell the truth alternatively
don't say for instance twenty one thousand children
are dying every single day
don't say anything about starvation
don't try to prick the global conscience
don't mention political corruption
or child abuse collusion
cover ups seem to happen anyway
don't share your thoughts with anyone
don't you dare to ruffle the censors feathers
remember the fact checkers
are there to monitor your call
so just shut up and get yourself on board
don't question anything
keep a thumbs up for the narrative
tow the line or you'll find yourself deleted
permanently disabled
no longer enabled
for the benefit of us all
