Censored


I felt I was being repressed.
The situation I addressed.
Expressed my concerns openly,
They said the Internet is free.

When others came who shared my view,
Who felt something was amiss too,
Began to see the point proved,
But then my account was removed?

Disrupting culture? Is that real?
Oh we can speak, share how we feel,
As long as it's falling in line
With values someone else defines?

That the Net can't be owned, it's true.
Just used to shaped and alter view,
And governed as to only share
What governing parties declare.

Now with depression setting in,
I've come to know too well my sin.
And so I asked God what to do,
Just to find He's been censored too.

never thought I would live to see the death of free speech in a very real sense, Ida...seems more likely than not to me these days though.

Thank your for your reply.

very original to travel from internet that no one governs to God, the poem is deep and ask some questions to the reader about communication, bravo

The permanence of God keeps me grounded in this otherwise very dark and unseeing world, Karen.
