Censored! (includes a video poem)
My poetic response to Twitter’s permanent ban of my account
Censored! - A Video Poem
(based on a true story - full story linked below)
Censored!
Alarmed by many truths untold,
I took my pen, addressed the world.
Truth, peace, and love my guiding star,
Frontier Man, my avatar.
Among my lines, the readers found
A kinship crossing party’s bound.
From left to right, the love did flow,
'Till X stepped in to deal the blow.
"Manipulation!" was their claim,
They cast me out from whence I came.
Fourteen long years of tweets erased,
As if I'd never graced the place.
No warning shot across the bow,
No reasons why, explaining how.
I vanished like a morning mist,
My voice was gone; I was dismissed.
Yet Elon, you, who holds the throne,
Who vowed to keep free speech our own
Did you forget your solemn vow?
Or were you jesting with us now?
I ask you, Elon, what's your stand?
Are freedoms safe in X's hand?
Or must the poets halt their verse,
defeated by the censor's curse?
