It’s DISTURBING To Me... !!!
To See Communities...
Who... CLAIM To Be...
Supportive of HONEST Poetry...

REFUSE To Deal...
With Poetry That Speaks...
On Political Themes...
Or ANYTHING Likely...
To Make The Sheople BLEAT... !?!

About CAUSING OFFENCE...
And... ARGUMENTS...
Because of Things Expressed...

When We Have PRESIDENTS...
And Leaders Who UPSET...
Because of Things Now Said...
That Fuel Their Governments... !?!

Are Humans Now SO WEAK... ?!?
That Arguments Should Be...
Now Left To Media Teams...
Whose Biases Now WREAK...
of More Than FALLACIES... !!!

Are People So... “ P.C. “...
That They Don’t Want To Speak...
UNLESS It’s On The Streets...
Through PROTEST Scenes... !!!

COMPLIANCE Is Where...
Poets Once... DARED... !!!
To Openly Speak On Humanity...
And Peoples' Movements Globally...

Is FEAR What Really Runs...
Free Speech Kingdoms... ?!?

Cos It’s...
CLEARLY NOT FREE When Artistry...
Is Placed Inside A World That Hides...
The TRUTH From Minds...
That Are Being Downsized...

Because of Lockdowns Due...
To This... CORONA FLU... !!!

Why Are Groups Enforcing Rules...
To Keep The TRUTH...
LOCKED In Bedrooms... ?!?

Cos’ That Just KEEPS Art CHOKED...
And UNABLE To Grow... !!!

So WHAT If Some Cause ARGUMENTS... !?!
Isn’t That Part of Us Being Human...
Using Our Art And Creative Freedom...

To INSPIRE A Desire...
To RETIRE Empires...
That Are FILLED With LIARS... !!!

Because Unity...
Has NEVER Been Achieved...
In Our Societies... !!!
For Century After CENTURY... !!!

So WHY Should We Deal...
In CONTROLLED Speech...
Within Artistry...
That Should Surely Be FREE... !!!

It’s A Trend That I See...
That Now WORRIES Me... !!!
When Those Making Movies...
And Those On Our TV's...

Seem To Air Their Views...
To The World FREELY...
Even When Their Speech...
Is FAKER Than... FALLACIES... !?!

Although The CLAIM Nowadays...
Is That Movies Being Made...
Deal In Real Stories Based On REALITY... !!!

But... Hollywood Clans...
AREN'T Known To Feed FACTS... !?!

It’s Visual FICTION Mostly...
With... DRAMATISED Themes... !!!

So If What Is Now Displayed...
Is... REALITY Based...
Why Are People So AFRAID...
To... Poetically Deal...
With What Is REAL... ?!?

They Are WEIRD Communities...
Those In Spoken Word Scenes...
And The Field of Poetry...

It Seems That Poets CAN'T DEAL...
With What Now Makes Them Angry...
But Will Follow Policies...
That Treat Humans Like SHEEP... ?!?

I Guess It’s Just ME...
Who Sees A Future That’s BLEAK... ?!?

Where The Use of Poetry...
ONLY Deals In FREE SPEECH...
Over Some... TRAP Beat... !!!!!!!!

Or When It’s In A MOVIE...
Where It’s Vetted By Teams...
Who Are Those Who Control...
What Is Said And What Is Seen...

Because of... Policies...
That Are Probably NOT As Free...
As They Are CLAIMED To Be... !!!

These Companies That Now Stream...
Have Agendas For Their Means...
And AGENDAS That Now Feed...
Some... Pretty SCARY Themes... !!!

Much Like People Who Feel...
That EVERYTHING That They Read...
Or Now Hear... Poetically...

Should Just Feed... UNITY...
And Words of LOVE And PEACE... ?!?

When As I’ve Said Before...
We’re STILL Embracing WAR...
And Have Found No Route To Peace...
And Racial Harmony...
That Deals In UNITY...
And... REAL EQUALITY... ?!?

Poetry Should SURELY Be...
Something RESTRICTION FREE... !!!

When... TECHNOLOGY...
And THIS CORONA DISEASE...
Is Spreading So QUICKLY... !!!!!

Well So They Say...
... “ ALLEGEDLY “... ?!?

That I’m Now Thinking SERIOUSLY...
When It Comes To Future Scenes...
of... Poetic Artistry...

“Is This Really How Things
Will Continue To Be ?”
It's actually not that new an issue, of course some people are brutally honest in their poetic creativity, but it's rare that these peoples' work, gets to be heard or seen, in anything that is fed to the world publicly, especially now through online communities !
