Premium Member TRUTH BE TOLD

On a wall in the House of Censorship they display the tongues of those silenced.
The plaque beneath reads “THEY ALL TOLD THE TRUTH”

Soup Herb

Read Poetry Soup's censorship blurb
And found your muse dropped dead at the curb?
Heed this advice:
Some spice is nice
A little Sage can make Soup superb

A Vague Shadow

A vague shadow,
Of my former self,
I shroud my face from all beating souls,
Outcast,
Turned away from society for outrageous ideals,
Censorship,
Now I lack heartbeat,
And soul.

Premium Member Censorship In the Arts

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

No commercial interruption
In my head
Never any breaks
When I dream
Makes me want
To holler
And scream
No censorship
No computer chips
Reboots
Or 
Virus Protection!!!
Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Premium Member calling a toad a toad

Punctilious conversation
Unknown by this generation
Suggested by eager administration
Hoping to curb dancing gyration
Censorship doesn’t work in our nation
Where felons are revered in Presidential celebration

Believers

I can only see,
What the physical world has taught me,
Corruption and racism,
Censorship and war,
My heart is torn,
My mind is worn,
In a world of hate,
Are there believers?
Believers still?
To quell the sorrows,
Of those whose pain,
Consumes.

Premium Member For talking too much in class, we've buttoned your lip

For talking too much in class, we've buttoned your lip.
If the teacher does ask you to talk, here is a little tip.
You unbutton your lip just like a button on your shirt.
The first few times, you may feel a little hurt.
So be gentle, so your lip ~ doesn't rip.

Premium Member Violating Others Rights

Censorship is justified when a writer is promoting hurting kidnapping, killing, raping enslaving, tormenting, torturing or violating another human being or doing something else to endanger another person's right to the pursuit of health, happiness, and a comfortable, loving life.

Premium Member Your Coercive Blade of Censorship, My Razor Edged Pencil Tip

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.

Premium Member Censorship

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 due to censorship. inspired by another member's poem

Premium Member Swearing In Your Name

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 one name that’s worse than the lot, 
And that is the President Trump.

Lip Service

No censorship from your lips
Declarations made unapologetically
Living to offend
You triumph at being different
Unique now is a dirty word
The way you mean it
As an excuse to be belligerent
To speak your mind freely
Regardless of the consequences
You hurt others with your tongue
Your words are acidic
Eroding away any peace from within me

Up Your Asterisk

I’m not a fan of censorship
But there should be no risk
When writing of a body part
To use an asterisk.

When not used as a swear-word,
Which might garner a tsk-tsk,
A mention of a tush should not
Require an asterisk.

We’re grown-ups here and therefore
Criticism should be brisk
When chosen words are censored:
Shove it up your asterisk!

Premium Member Censorship

Call it what you will, 
even though you’re not supposed to; 
Now we think it’s ok to stay quiet? 
Shut your mouth but I won’t stay silent; 
Out of options to remain out of control,
right now that’s what we need more of; 
Sit back follow a train off the tracks; 
Hop on follow the jet set,
instigating a riot of silence 
poised for the loudest defeat.

Taming of the Tongue

Your words flow faster than your mind
Can decipher their impact
No Fetish
But, you are licking your own feet
Sucking your toes clean
For you think you are on higher ground
Above exerting discretion over the dialogue you utter
Censorship does not exist in your vocabulary
Your slippery tongue betrays you
For it knows no boundaries
Your foolishness is never-ending

Premium Member A Reaction to Hate

Funny
All the hate I get
Posting these words
Expressing my truth

Avoiding self-censorship
Spelling out the harsh realities
Lost in translation, perhaps
Yet you all add to the bruise

I don't get it
probably never will
How acting like a human
Can fuel bitter feuds

So I gotta accept that
My word vomit only resonates
in this self-contained world
Living as the bitter muse

Premium Member selfishness Looked out for Herself

Selfishness looked out for herself
She was thrilled to do what she wanted
When she wanted
In the way she wanted
Without censorship, suggestions or having to please anyone else

Selfishness did not buy into funerals, graduations or weddings
She spent no time with her family.
She did not care to make a friend.
She never felt lonely or sad.
She loved her alone time.
She felt cherished and entitled.
Loving her ways.

Censorship

Censorship is the instrument 
Of the people intent
Who want concealment 
From themselves 
And from others
Fear is only to embrace
Their feebleness to face 
What is certified in place 

Some spot, in their adolescence
They were ensured indifference
Against total real factors 
Of our mankind freedom 
They were potentially educated 
To look one way abbreviated
When other possibilities 
Were readily available judiciously
