Hush Little Poet Lullaby

hush little poet, don’t say a word
big brother is watching and he has heard

be careful of what you do and say
or they might take your pen away

terms and conditions are admin’s tools
you’ll get locked out when breaking rules

be mindful of every word you write
a clear screenshot might stop a fight

if you feel the need to vent
don’t write a blog with ill intent

now if your blog gets taken down
it’s in the rules so please don’t frown

speech is free not written word
don’t let them see you give the bird

rules are rules that’s what they say
capitulate to write, another day

Hi Mark, I will take what you say as sound advice. However, I don’t understand, I thought one has the right to have free speech ( even in written form). Things going in the soup as of late is concerning to me. Why some folk “can” say this or that and other’s can't isn't right-Alexis

There is no freedom of speech on the internet anymore. Even the soup requires us or at least some of us to adhere to their rules.

It's sad that the PS administration relies on poets to monitor the site. Far too many problems go unnoticed until complaints are made, and sometimes even then, nothing is corrected. That little poet needs to hush and not 'write' another word that is indiscernible.

It can be very frustrating when some are allowed to do whatever they want
