#Poetry #Poem https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry SHADOW BANNED by Bill Kochman 01-14-2023 No one likes to be shadow banned, Yet I am banned for so very long, Well it was about five years ago, When I realized something's wrong. Oh I was sharing left and right, Indeed, post after post after post, But no matter how hard I've worked, A few dozen see me at the very most. Yes, it can be so very discouraging, When we're trying to sow God's seed, We do our best to get out the truth, But so few will even see it to read. It is no secret some in government, Scheme with liberal social networks, Doing their best to hide our memes, God please deal with all those jerks. Resorting to tactics so very unfair, They're just creatures of the night, Trying to spin things their own way, Frantically running from God's Light. But He sees all and knows the score, Those folks to powder will be ground, As for us, we have nothing to fear, Because to Heaven we will be bound.

#Poetry #Poem https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry FRUSTRATED! by Bill Kochman 08-12-2024 I am feeling rather frustrated, The internet is not my friend, All networks shadow ban me, So why should I even pretend? I have so much I want to say, So I post and post and post, But those gurus do not like me, So my words end up like toast. I make lots of interesting stuff, To challenge how people think, But in social network queues, All my posts just sink and sink. My bros rarely ever see them, They believe I’ve disappeared, Yet I keep making posts daily, So man it’s really kind of weird. I am convinced it is intentional, They want to silence my voice, They push only their narrative, So folks don’t have any choice. Manipulating how we all think, They slyly mold our world view, If you’re not extremely careful, Their snare will trap even you!

#Poetry #Poem https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry NO TRACTION OR SATISFACTION by Bill Kochman 08-27-2024 As many know, the Stones sang, I can't get no satisfaction, But my problem is even worse. Because I can't get no traction. It really doesn't matter what I do, I am always spinning my wheels, If you are censored by networks, You know exactly how this feels. We all work so hard every day, To pump out God's holy Word, But because we are restricted, So few people have even heard. It just seems all network gurus, Have sympathy for the ole Devil, But as for us dear Christian folks, The playing field is just not level. Now to be honest, I'm gettin' old, I'm really no Jumpin' Jack Flash, So unless my situation improves, I may throw this app in the trash.

#Poetry #Poem https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry FREE SPEECH, BUT NO REACH by Bill Kochman 12-18-2023 On all of the social networks, They say we have free speech, But what they never tell you, Is they throttle your outreach. Oh, you are just so very happy, To have a new account online, You’re gonna reach the world, Man, it will surely be so fine! Very excitedly you post away, And wait for the flood to begin, Likes, reposts and comments, Many friends you hope to win. But then hours slowly pass by, Yes, days turn into a full week, Your account is totally dead, Why doesn’t anybody speak? You seemed to do it all right, Your graphics are quite cool, But what you fail to realize is, You’re just that network’s tool. No matter which one you’re on, They operate much the same, Yes, tho you may not know it, You are a pawn in their game. With only two types of pieces, You’re either a peon or an elite, Top class gets all the exposure, While peons grovel at their feet. Thus, elites get 1000s of...

#Poetry #Poem https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry WAKE UP! by Bill Kochman 01-22-2026 Social networks are a joke, It’s time for you to realize, Their claim of free speech, Is simply a big pack of lies. If you follow their party line, Your posts may get a view, But oppose their agenda, And it will be all over for you. If like me you are a Christian, It will surely get you marked, While Lefties enjoy exposure, In an alley you will be parked. In their desert & never seen, Will certainly be your fate, At the bottom of the barrel, You’re a ghost, sorry mate! From the start to the finish, It’s really just one big scam, Your posts will be locked out, Tighter than an ocean clam. You can pay lots of money, Trying for a better chance, But they make no promise, To increase viewer glance. Preference is given to elites, Big influencers rank at top, But as for you, you’re a peon, Might as well grab your mop. I know exactly how you feel, Working so hard to be seen, But no matter what you do, Your...

#Poetry #Poem https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry DEVIOUS PLAN by Bill Kochman 11–03-2024 It was indeed such a devious plan, Which the world would not reject, They had to find some crafty way, So God's Word they could deflect. While Christians would not like it, Everyone else would surely agree, And so they invented hate speech, To stifle online preaching you see. Though it may be in the Holy Bible, They will now take down your post, Their standards trump God's truth, So your meme will simply be toast. Now you can appeal their decision, But it's rare that you'll win the case, The cards are stacked against you, They do not want you in their place. The huge hypocrisy in their system, Is so very obvious and plain to see, While they limit your own outreach, Other disgusting memes they let be.

#Poetry #Poem SOCIAL DICTATORSHIPS by Bill Kochman 05-13-2023 Behold the social dictatorships, They go by many different names, But when you take a closer look, They play the same elitist games. Each day you make many posts, Yet very few even seem to care, That's because the real reason is, They just don't know you're there. They promise freedom of speech, And it is true you can post away, But if your stuff is shadow banned, Does it really matter what you say? All your posts will not go very far, Unless you fork over some money, Or else you must be someone big, Then you will get exposure plenty. They have got Christians in a box, Preaching to the choir we can see, So we are unable to reach the lost, With words that can set them free. It does not matter where you go, The story is pretty much the same, They won’t let you shine for God, Which is really quite a shame.

#Poetry #Poem 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.

#Poetry #Poem BANNED! by Bill Kochman 06-05-2018 They said they were really big, On respecting everyone's views, But they didn't like my stuff, Must have given them the blues. Only four days after I joined, My user account was suspended, Their diversity policy is bogus, Why else was my time there ended? The LGBT crowd was very welcomed, And people with any other taste, But regarding Christian opinions, Ha! They kicked me out with haste. But I am not going to sweat it, I'll just post on other networks, Nothing can put out God's flame, He will take care of those jerks.

RIGGED! -- a poem and song by BBB #Poetry #Poem RIGGED! by Bill Kochman https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry 04-22-2023 It just really does not even matter, Truth Social, Facebook or Twitter, All your posts will hardly be seen, Seriously, I mean barely a flitter. The social networks are the same, You are either a peon or an elite, No exposure if you're not famous, Whether you post, truth or tweet. Sure, you can even pay for an ad, Or spend money to get verified, But it won't make a difference, I know this because I also tried. Their systems are clearly rigged, Preference is for famous names, They will get all of the attention, While you play with peon games. The only way to receive exposure, Is to chat with red checks or blue, But as for posts on your timeline, They will hardly ever get a view.

SOCIAL NETWORK GHOSTS -- a poem and song by BBB #Poetry #Poem SOCIAL NETWORK GHOSTS by Bill Kochman https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry 09-18-2024 Well let me tell you a little secret, Which perhaps you need to hear, If you have been shadow banned, Nothing will get you in the clear. Sure, you can do different things, Such as engage in the news feed, Yes, you can spend hours of time, Your friends’ posts trying to read. You can also add comments too, Or even chat in some private text, But no matter what you try to do, Your efforts will have zero effects. Your friend requests won’t go up, It will not make a difference at all, Page engagement will remain low, They have built around you a wall. You’re a dead man in a dead zone, If networks don’t like your posts, But don’t worry, you are not alone, We are all just a bunch of ghosts.

#Poetry #Poem BOTTOM OF THE BARREL by Bill Kochman https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry 08-19-2024 At the bottom of the barrel, That's where my posts are, On all the social networks, They just never go very far. Yes, shadow banned for life, Always seems to be my fate, Those liberals don't like me, I just can't get out the gate. Even though I post so much, Friends ask where I've been, But I've been here all along, Just so trapped in their pen. Maybe you know this story, Because you're trapped too, And though you may protest, They just won't let you thru. Fellow prisoners in our bonds, We strive to preach the truth, Our enemies just don't like it, They about go thru the roof. Yet we each do what we can, Even if we reach only a few, We have to obey our Father, As He has ordered us to do.

NO TRACTION OR SATISFACTION -- a poem and song by Bill Kochman #SocialNetworks #Poetry #Poem Note: Please note that I am NOT a Rolling Stones fan. I liked a few of their songs in my younger days over fifty years ago before I got serious with the Lord. But I thought that some of my older friends might find it a bit humorous that I mention three Stones songs in this anti-social networks poem.
