Censor These Nuts!

Censor These Nuts!

 

There is an army of artist

Who just don’t give a f**k

Armed to the teeth

With words

Sharp

And ready to cut

 

We speak truth to power

We’re the ones

Who call their bluff

We refuse to hold our tongues

D****t!

 …Enough Is Enough

 

Some call us crazy

But crazy, compared to what?

There is no place for censorship

But if you must censor

Censor these nuts!

 

The ones who bend the truth

They keep everyone misinformed

They feed us violence

And keep us silent

And tell us it’s the norm

 

Radical religions

Always a war, always a fight

Political divisions

Slowly stealing

Our first amendment rights

 

Crossing out the truth

Telling us what to believe

Replacing all of the prophets

With liars, crooks, and thieves

 

This is the real reason

This nation is stuck in a rut

Instead of censoring “The People”

How about we… censor these nuts!

The power of expression remains, perhaps, the truest of freedoms, and it is the one we writers depend on more than any other. Is anything more precious than our words, after all?
And we should use it to build, not destroy, to bring light and hope, rather than pain and despair.
Words, like concepts of power, are purely neutral. It's how you use them that counts.
A great poem, Serenus. Keep it up.

i agree!

thank you Landred!

[Cleide Tatyana Almeida]

I love the theme and the message but compared to the (albeit few) other works of yours I've read, this one didn't have that flow and rhythm of other poems of yours I enjoyed. While it may not be particularly constructive to say this, I can't really point out what exactly about this piece I didn't enjoy. NB: I think it's a good piece, just not your best or pales in comparison

[Sirius King]

i think the flow sounds better to me when i read it out loud, maybe this is more of a performance piece

As always, Thank you Cleide.

Catchy. When I read it I hear a happy melodic tune that you could whistle while skip down the street. Love the title. Love the message.

[Sirius King]

whistling "Censor These Nuts!" down the street?....hmmm...i'll have to try that sometime lol

thank u Commanda

[Frieda P]

Ha there's too many of those nutters to contain, unless we make peanut butter of them, entertaining read my friend....no one should be censored but they seem to come across the loudest, so lets, yes!

[Sirius King]

a little duct tape will do the trick! ;-)

[Frieda P]

Ha that stuff comes in handy for a myriad of uses ;-)

[Sirius King]

oh yea...my lips are sealed ;-))

[Frieda P]

hahahaha

[Sirius King]

lol

Bread and Circuses writ large. Panacea for the masses rules as the snouts in the trough remain every busy. Excellent write indeed.

Beccy.

[Sirius King]

thank you Beccy!

[Myenigma]

its hard to say, if someone makes a farfetched or unbelievable accusation that goes against the norm or poppular opinion, even if he made a valid point, then he will still be considered crazy.. now I don’t want to break out any conspiracies,

[Sirius King]

well, all good "conspiracy theories" have some true to them...sometimes more truth than the "official story"

[Myenigma]

I misunderstood it, re reading it, i see your talking more about hypocritical b******s that change public opinion with hatred and confusion.

[Sirius King]

yup, thats it!

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree with the complete poem. I like the ending a lot. First step to dumb-size a nation. Stop free thinking and words. Mark Twain was disliked when he lived. He wrote the truth. It is a words. People fear the truth. Old wise quote. "Stand for nothing. What is the purpose of life?" Thank you for the excellent poetry. Freedom is missed when it is gone.

thank you Coyote!

[John Dennis Gillespie]

Hahaha! I love this! Especially, how the beginning curse words were censored and the topic was against censoring! It's awesome. Strongly political with an even stronger slice of satire.

[Sirius King]

thank u John!

[QuietlyCrash]

I love how you always just kick the door down and make people listen. Great write!

[Sirius King]

thank u Quiet! :-)

[Mark]

If only we could begin by agreeing on who the nuts are. Well crafted work, enjoyed reading.

[Sirius King]

you haven't heard...it's always the other guy ;-)

thank u Mark
