Poem For my Poet friend Joyce Johnson.

MY WARM BEST WISHES FOR 4TH JULY TO ALL MY AMERICAN FRIENDS. 


Dear Friend Joyce 

I am unable to write back to you
Or even to send you a message 
Due to technical reasons
I am sure 
You would understand 
Why.

I may leave that platform 
In due course of time
Whatever big and famous it may be
Where freedom of writer
is controlled and crushed
Without any reasons and grounds
by the selfish interests of 
The new rulers of internet and 
By its prejudiced guards.

In my long associations 
With my PS friends and even other friends
I have never used any language or 
even words against any person, country, religions or 
friend both male and female, 
so it would not be a loss to me 
Rather I would have more time 
for my Musical Yoga, Paintings, Song writing and 
Singing etc and other things. 

With best wishes for you and 
your good health and 
Best wishes for all my poetry soup friends.

Are you speaking of FB censorship. This is our new world, Ravindra. Very frightening what they did to us during the lockdown. I believe it was a test to see who would follow blindly like sheep. Sadly many complied with things just to keep their jobs. I wish I could tell you anything about Joyce. She may still be alive but nobody seems to know for sure. I think I did get a Xmas card from her right at the end of 2021.

I could see your comment here only today while opeing some of my older poems df James. You are absolutely right about the ongoing censorship and other no view things happening on fb. I too have not posted anything for the last more than 4 months. Sorry as I am not receiving any emails from ps I could not see your comment dear friend James. Hope you are keeping very well. I will visit your page soon. With best wishes always.....Ravindra
