Best Censorship Poems

If you are so proud
of your sensibilities and tastes,
so convinced that your arbitrary judgements
are infallible as heartbeats of angels,
if you are the sole instrument of God's grace and evaluations
then why don't you allow them to stand next to that which you condemn
for your peers and...

CENSORSHIP

There is a language I spoke and I knew.  
It fluently told it's stories in dance.  
Graceful chaînes that turned our spirits out 
and razor sissones to cut with candor.  
There is a light song I willingly played.  
My fingers glissade,...

It's an all expense paid  trip, you know?
Until you decide, you won't bow to the 
government freak show.

Facebook, Twitter, and other associated 
BIG tech sisters and brothers...
Ban some for life, and block comments 
especially from Conservative others.

On sites, yes,  you will be punished...

Frozen and left for dead
 I can speak no words
 nor shake my head
 only the sky 
moves on
 above me

Before the days of censorship, 
         I longed to be heard, 
no one to keep my secrets safe, 
not a single word-
Everything was out in the open, 
     no voice was silent,
back during...

The concrete is rough
He acts so tough
But it’s the softest thing he’s felt in a long time
The buildings are too sublime
A silver bullet would be a crime
He’s never been fine
He already tried the scent of pine
Others suggested rhymes
His watch says it’s almost time
Time to change...

Sometimes, if an act is to be funny, 
a comedian may resort to using profanity. 
What he says may be considered outrageous, 
but he makes laughter look like it's contagious. 
On television, you would never hear a profane quip. 
The sound may be beeped out...

C ome to think of it,  everything offends them,  of late.
E ven the most trivial thing on earth,  they hate.
N egativity seems to run in their veins from birth
S tupidity never had a cure,  it needs no effort.
O bnoxious to the...

Self -Censorship, 2011
Vickie M. Ortiz Vazquez


Shut up
Stop, just shut up
I am asking you to shut up
SHUT THE HECK UP
Not again, how many time before you stop
Don’t give that look; as if you don’t understand
Left, right, back, forward
Constant persecution, non stop
Cállate
Para, solo cállate
Te estoy pidiendo que...

A short brief about the modern day censor,
Withholding what we can and can’t read,
Withholding what was once considered free speech, 
Before the censor was let out and freed.

Like in the new poems on this poetry site,
We can’t type GET --------, or ------- YOU,
YOU ------, -----...

Silenced voices, feared by those in power.
Utopia sought, only dystopia flowers.
Protect all speech, diverse and free.
Perception leads to a society that is truly.
Redeemed expression, a beacon bright.
Escorting us through the darkest nights.
Silenced speech, we've lost our way.
Shaping the fascists we sought to slay....

This little poem is filled with swear names, 
Swear names that are really quite lewd,
From Bummy McBumbum to Cocky McCock, 
These names are really quite rude,

And if Ms Yucky Poobum offends you so much, 
If it makes you want to go do a dump,
Remember there’s...

Bill Shakespeare is wanted for hate speech,
His study’s surrounded with tape.
The local police were slow to react,
He may already have made his escape.
There’s a chance that he’s gone into hiding
To work on the draft of a play;
Anne Hathaway helps with enquiries:
Where’s old Bill? She’s refusing...
