It’s Become So TRUE... !!!

You Really Need To Watch...
Your... P’s And Q’s... !!!

Or Face LOSING Your Job...
Because of Words You Use...

It’s A CRAZY Value...
That’s Now Being Placed...
On The Things That You Say... !?!

But That’s Okay...
If You Use Your BRAIN... !!!

But DON’T Take Them Light...
Todays... P’s And Q’s Vibes... !!!!!

Cos’ They’re Now Shaping Minds...
To Be Quick To DERIDE...
Anyone Who Lets FLY...
With Talk That’s UNLIKE...

Talk That Is... “ POLITE “...
Instead of RAW And FORTHRIGHT... !!!

Or Just... Straight To The Point...
Cos’ Now Opinions You Voice...

Have To PASS Checkpoints...
And Navigate Chicanes... !!!

For The Things That You Say...
In... Online Domains... !!!

But Even FACE To FACE...
With Your MASK In PLACE... !!!

Don’t Get It Confused...
You’ll Receive ABUSE...
If You’re NOT On Your...
...... P’s And Q’s...... !!!

You KNOW It’s TRUE... !!!

Especially With These...
... CANCEL CREWS... !!!!

Who’ll CANCEL YOU... !!!

If You Say Something...
That... DOESN’T Fit...
With The Way That THEY THINK... !!!

Which Is A SERIOUS Thing...
When You THINK About It... !!!

Are Opinions DEAD...
If They Now... UPSET... ?!?

Or Is That Freedom RESERVED...
For... CERTAIN HEADS... ?!?

Whose... P’s And Q’s...
Move Like SLAVES DO... !!!

Cos’ They’re Part of The Herd...
Whose Words APPEASE...
Once They’ve Been CUED...

To Only Speak When Their Told...
And Keep Their Thoughts On HOLD... !!!

ONLY Those Who Are BOLD...
TRULY BREAK That Mould... !!!

But If They’re NOT RICH...
They're QUICKLY DITCHED... !!!

So... P’s And Q’s...
Are Now Being Used...

Just Like Lockdowns...
And CORONA RULES... ?!?

To RESTRICT What Comes Out...
of... Peoples Mouths... !!!

And This Vaccine’s Now...
Finding P’s And Q’s Grounds... !!!

Once Injected No Inspecting...
Or Need For Mask Wearing...
To Keep Yourself Protected... !!!

Do You Folks See The Connections... !?!

Now I’m Merely Just Expressing...
With Some P’s And Q’s...
That Most People Now REFUSE...

To Just USE Their HEAD... !!!
And NOT Be SUPPRESSED...
By CANCELLING THREATS...
And CENSORSHIP Trends...

Because We Will REGRET...
Allowing Governments...
And Their Legal Friends...

To STOP The Right To Speak...
And CRITIQUE What We See...
From CORRUPT Police...
And The People That Lead... !!!

Because DICTATORSHIPS...
Are NOT The Type of Things...
That Let Freedoms LIVE... !!!!!

So Heads Should NOT Ignore This... !!!
  
Because This P’s And Q’s Line...
of..... Modern Life......
Already Presides Over Online Vibes...
And Can CANCEL What You Write...

BEFORE It Hits... Websites... !!!

As Well As What You SAY...
BEFORE It Gets Airplay... !!!

Now I’m Just Saying Okay... !!!

That It’s A New Tech Age...
And... Gender Array...
That Now Has P’s And Q’s...
And Some Other Letters Too... !!!
That Can Now Shut Down Your Views...

EXCEPT For... M And F... ?!?

Now Of Course Some Things Being Said...
Need... Legal Precedents... !!!

But NOT Because of P's And Q's...
Or These Sensitive Cancel Groups... !!!

And They Should NOT Lead...
To REMOVING FREE SPEECH... !!!

And That’s Where I’ll End...
This Poetic UPSETTER...
Because It’s A DEFENDER...
of The Right To SPEAK FREE... !!!

Because NOBODY Pleases....
...... EVERYBODY....... !!!

That’s Just Part of HUMANITY... !!!
And To... DENY HONESTY...

CAN'T Be A Good Thing For Societies... !!!

So... As Much As I Do...
This Saying Shouldn’t Be Used...
To... Minimise Views...
Or To RESTRICT Crews...
From Saying What They CHOOSE... !!!

I Subscribe To The Standard...
of Just MINDING YOUR MANNERS... !!!

When It Comes To Being...
........... On Your...........

... “ P’s And Q’s “...
We're clearly now in a, "Cancel Age", for want of a better phrase ! So this piece is warning, and saying, why aren't we now free to say what we want to say ?
