Revoke This Lame Ban of Soup's Dearest Friend

Revoke This Lame Ban Of Soup's Dearest Friend

In speaking her heart , tis not a great sin
revoke this lame ban of Soup's dearest friend.
Who else inspires and welcomes more than she
she that gave great inspiration to me.

Ice water may be cold but she is hot,
she's the exclamation point with the dot
Pull the dagger from her slender, turned back
Your train is racing but its on wrong track.

Pull no red rose up by its tender roots
your bold trumpet now  blows mistaken toots
Bring her back and watch the crowd celebrate
show wisdom gained before its too damn late.

Disappoint we sad  members with rash move
Why? When your power has nothing to prove!

What is this sensorship about? What fatal crime was hers? Great protest poem and my guess is she will not be back. There are many other sites. Nice job here Robert!
