Premium Member Reality's Banned

And stars glitter as a dying sun shrinks
to a...

Her childhood stories bring tears to the eye
They’re of her overcoming difficulties
In an abusive family life
The subjects in racist societies
Molestation and racism are two reasons why
Traumatization had caused her to be  MUTE
They ban books for the harsh reality they deny    ...

Christmas Is Not Fully Banned

For Anyone gonna have a Street or public show

To the young people, never forget, they said: 
Christ is a Western...

He Banned Chairs
HE BANNED CHAIRS

Looks like we will sit on the floor.
There is a new leader		      with a big boat to flaunt.
When we move outside there are crosses along the road. 

Scare tactic.
	He’s loaded with guns and an atomic twister.
Everyone will be...

Christmas Should Be Banned
The day after Christmas I really can't wait
The day it's all over - my one favourite date
The months of piped carol's wherever I go
I swear I'll go mad at the next "ho ho ho"

I need a lone island to hermit away
That has a no fly...

Mom of Gaza Or a Banned Sonnet
An omnipotent'd been ideated by militant clan,

To set up abode or to relate races with astute plan,

Midtone grey surrounds what’s left of a man’s soul
Scenes of biblical abominations troll
Inky are the hellish horizons appalled 
An okay is needed for anything at all 
Manipulating truth determines your life
Erasing individuality is part of your strife 
Robotic neurotic, emotionless choice, nary a voice
Force proles...
