TWITTER NOTES

YOU REFUSE TO LISTEN
YOU DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW
I ASSUME THE TRUTH
IS HARD TO SWALLOW.

CENSORED THINKING
CENSORED THOUGHT
THIS IS WHAT
IS BEING TAUGHT

I LIKE TO CHALLENGE
OR DISAGREE
I'LL UNDERSTAND
IF YOU CAN'T SEE.

I'LL GO OUT OF MY WAY
AND ASK THE QUESTION.
WE BOTH MIGHT LEARN
AN IMPORTANT LESSON.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG
WHEN WE DON'T AGREE
I DON'T BELONG.

I'M NOT YOU
YOU'RE NOT ME
PLEASE EXPLAIN
HOW OUR SPEECH IS FREE.

CRITICAL THINKING
CRITICAL THOUGHT
THIS IS WHAT
WE SHOULD BE TAUGHT.

TO UNDERSTAND
AND TO ENVISION.
LEADS TO WHAT'S CALLED
AN INFORMED DECISION.

JUST BECAUSE
WE DON'T AGREE
DOESN'T MEAN
I'M NOT FREE.

LOGIC AND REASON.
OR PROGRAMMED THOUGHTS.
YOUR RESULTS
ARE WHAT YOU BOUGHT

YOUR CANCEL CULTURE
WILL EAT YOU ALIVE.
JUST PASSING ALONG
A WORD FROM THE WISE.

CENSORED AND BANNED
WE MOVE ALONG
WHEN YOU'RE OBSOLETE
WE'LL DECIDE WHO'S WRONG.
