Every thing that you let into your mind
helps define what is called mankind
to much violence and were detached from reality
we find ourselves with the masses a casuality
Porn and violence on the television and outside
is there even a safe place to hide
We rape the mind with our careless acts
accept a lie and totally reject the facts
Violence on tv has no affect on society
it's just a means for the riches prosperity.
How far can you go before your crossing the line
that's if there even is still a line
you cross the fence into peoples lives without care
and then you rape their minds with things you share
Half naked people I really don't want to see
I don't want to hear your cursing it gets to me
Will I take a stand for what I hold dear
no doubt I'll stand and do it without a trace of fear
So you will mock me because I disagree
but someone has to stand for the fallen refere
I won't let you enter my home and rape my mind
but yet you continue to rape yourself and mankind
Yes you have the freedom of speech
but how far does that freedom reach
Yes you have the freedom of expression
but shouldn't there be some discretion
Yes you have the freedom of the press
but don't you realize this freedom is causing a mess
So it's up to you will you continue to rape the childrens mind
or will you take a step back, istead of going forward rewind

in the silence of the night I hear angels voices singing your name oh how beautiful is your name as they sing over and over.  (SPOKEN)

at the risk of being cliche.... WOW.. jimmy that's great.  an entity without boundaries or deffinition does indeed cease to exist.  that's why anarchy is so stupid.  keep on standing.  if you want further evidence of a decayed society, i'll send you a copy of my paper on censorship in the arts sometime.  remind me.  yeah and I know what its like to be mocked for refusing to take part in what you consider is wrong.  I am the only student at my college that refuses to paint/draw the nude figure. my professors hate me...

But His word was in my heart
like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding back,
And I could not.

This is very strong. That's extremely cool to stand for what you believe in. I don't agree with everything you said. I feel you shouldn't have to be censored unless you are going to endanger someone. Children don't need to be exposed to the things you mentioned-pornography,violence,vulgarity, etc. But as adults we should be able to distinguish our morals.Pornography and violence happens in real life, and if it's on TV or in music, we should be able to understand that TV and music isn't real, rather just expression. And as for vulgarity, what makes it vulgarity, a word is a word. What deems one worse than the other. I could make up a word and call it vulgar, but why is it. Sorry I rambled on and on, but I had to give my side. You have brought your point across in a way that isn't rude yet still very blunt. I have different views but still respect yours. I think you did an excellent job. Hope to see more like this soon.

Some deep thoughts here. I enjoyed them. Good poem.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
