CONTROL FREAKS

by Bill Kochman

12-26-2023

Hate speech and misinformation,
Is how they practice subjugation.
Just speak a word they don't like,
Your post won't ever get a spike.

It is lost forever way down below,
In a news feed it will never show.
They love to control what we say,
Dare defy them and you will pay.

Shadow banned for life, my friend,
Your goose is cooked, it's the end.
Regardless of how much you post,
Face it, dude, you're already toast.

You spoke out, so you are marked,
In the trash your posts are parked.
You are a nobody, they don't care,
Even though you think it's not fair.

By their rules we're forced to play,
I'll finally leave ‘em some fine day.
