Now We Know Folks Are GAGGED...  
In Ways That Are... BAD... !!!  

And In Ways That Some Use...  
Within Their ****** Moves... !!!  

But What About Masks... ?  
We Should Think About That... !!!  
  
Do You Wear Yours At HOME... ?!?
Because... IF TRUTH Be Told...  
  
Isn’t This New Disease...  
In The Air That We Breathe... ?  
Cos That’s How It Would Seem...  
If Humanity Needs...  
To Wear Masks In The Streets...  
  
Cos’ They’re MANDATORY... !?!  
  
Cos’ They’re Gagging Free Speech... !!!  
And You CAN'T Speak FREELY...  
With A Mask On Your Mouth...  
In That There’s... NO DOUBT... !!!  
  
So You See What This Piece...  
Is... Talking About... ?!?  
  
... It’s About POLICIES...  
That Are SHUTTING Talk Down...  
Due To Medical Grounds... ?!?  
  
Doesn’t Something Seem Foul ?!?  
  
Just Like When Groups Censor...  
Free Speech Though Agendas...  
  
Which Is Not Something New...  
  
It’s Been Used In Boardrooms...  
As Well As Courtrooms...  
  
And Is Now Used By Groups...  
Like The L‘s And The Q’s...  
And The GBT’s TOO... !!!  
  
To SHUT Music Down...  
And Artists Free Speech...  
If Views They Sing Out...  
Show That They Don’t Agree...  
With The Way That THEY Be...  
  
How Is THAT Being FREE...  
To Express What You Feel...  
When You Use Artistry... ?!?  
  
Seems Like GAGGING To Me... !!!  
  
And Slowly But Surely...  
People... Should Now See...  
That Our Societies...  
Are Losing Our Rights...  
To Just Speak About Life...  
In The Way That We Like...  
  
Which To Me Seems Awry...  
  
When GAGS Are Applied...  
To Peoples Daily Lies...  
Just For Us To SURVIVE... ?!?  
  
Gag Orders On Borders...  
Is What They’re Enforcing...  
  
So It’s NOT Only Talking... !!!  
  
It’s Things Once IMPORTANT...  
To FREEDOMS We NEED...  
To Ease Pressures We Feel... !!!  
  
That Are Now Being Dragged...  
Into Lives Filled With GAGS...  
And Wearing Your Mask...  
Just To Get To A Park... !?!  
  
And That's Just The START... !!!  
  
So What Will Be Next...  
That’s Fed By Governments...  
That Heads Will Accept... ?!?  
  
Due To Things Being Said...  
By Government Heads...  
  
of Things That THEY DETECT...  
As Being... A THREAT...  
To Freedoms They CLAIM...  
Should NOT EVER RESTRAIN... !!!  
  
Our Freedom of Speech...  
Whether In Artistry...  
That's Musically Driven...  
  
Or In The Things Written...  
By Those With Opinions...  
That Do NOT CONTORT...  
To See Freedoms Downfall... !!!  
  
Let Alone Rights To TALK...  
And To WALK WITHOUT Laws...  
This Corona Has Brought... !!!  
  
Because Here Is A Question...  
And One Final Thought...  
  
Could All of These Laws...  
That Are Being ENFORCED...  
  
Be....  
  
“ The BIGGEST Gag Orders  
           of Them All ? "
It's clearly not possible to speak or really breathe freely, with a mask covering your mouth and nose !

So this poem looks a little further into such policies, and their possible extensions .....
