Speaking Freely

"Twitter obviouxly cannot become a free-for-all hellscape,
where anything can be said with no consequences!"
- Elon Musk


No one wants a hellish, free-for-allish
discombobulated conversation, in a nation
where the talk is cheap, without a consequence
like the neighbors chew the fat across a picket fence
speaking freely, swapping recipes for favorite dishes
or coordinating movements of militias
commanded by a fireballish apparition
in possession of a trollish, know-it-allish intuition
who jumps the shark and pumps the snark and in addition
plans to re-enact the march on Rome
and to re-evaluate the chromosome 
with an eye to monetizing inattention
as a corresponding disarray of comprehension
does an algorithmic dance in which we frolic
in the manner of a bone-dry alcoholic
who will save the kids from being fed to Moloch
collapsing us with stories of the stop-the-steal
to re-inflate us with the grievances and certain zeal
that it takes to circulate a catherine wheel.

No one wants that.

not sure Mon, think lots of folks might like the Cat's wheel. :)

love the free-wheeling knife out way you go about skewering the vacuity of our times. Social media where nothing of any importance is shared, and grifters find more marks than they ever had dreamed of in their wettest dreams.
