Profanity Word Censored

We respect the p$#t's 

Freedom of expr%ss#$n

Our rules serve a gr#$ter p#rp&se

We build c#mm$n%ties out of nothing

All gratitude is owed to us

As such we make requirements

That we expect from our f#ll%w$rs

That they not truly expr$ss what they're f##ling

Unless it neatly fits in one of our 

Categories of wh%les@me b$n#v@l$nce

Therefore we make the following recommendation

For those among us who simply must

The new "F" word shall be "Fun"

The new "S" word shall be "Shine"

The new "A" word shall be "Amaze"

The new "H" word shall be "Happy"

We thank you kindly for your attention

To our gr#$ter c@#se

Hi Yoni, very clever approach in this unique verse. Your words say much, and your other characters add to their impact! I especially like the bright notes in the last six lines. Regarding "She-Demon Expelled," I think we are all better off without people who take advantage of us. Love, Carolyn

Very cleverly done! Language is just that... language. Only when it is used to demean or disfigure does it become dangerous... BRAVO my dear! Best wishes, Keith

Yoni - You know I paroled from Prison with a stack of poems and as you can imagine they were all rather explicit in their language. I joined this site and every poem I posted I had to omit many profane words from and to be totally honest I think some of the meaning was lost in the process. This poem was very witty and rest in an area that I personally see both sides of - Any how I reckon "It is what it is" and its all for the greater good, God Bless, MJ
