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

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,
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....

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

Pumped and ready to start a new day
Bringing it on no matter what comes my way
Can you believe it
Must watch for censorship
At times overdo it and exhibit a naughty display...

Standing at a podium can be scary I admit
Answering all questions with a catcher's mitt
Some are contentious
Others need censorship
Should I dance around the questions or just skip...

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....

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....

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....

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....

The East

The East wind is cold 
and is full of hoarfrost. 
It crosses the land, 
in a wild storm, raging!
It is heavy with hail, 
and larger black rocks...
of mud and dirt.  
It contains fist-sized stones, 
to hammer the land
into a new shape.
Soon the west 
will be unrecognizable.
and foreign 
to those that live there....

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

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....

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...

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!...

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....

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...

no baby go
slow don't
i'm not a
jerk but

there are
rules needed
to follow so we
can be properly

posted so go
easy breath
normally
well as

normal as you can
be with excitability
before you go down
in the cage

sharks can sense
nervervousness
so just relax 
remember

SCUBA means
Self
Contained
Underwater
Breathing

Apparatus
so take it

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...
