MAKES ME MAD

Author's Notes/Comments: 

WRITERS DIGEST APRIL PAD CHALLENGE PROMPT FOR TODAY WAS TO WRITE A MAD POEM...I EXPERIENCED CENSORSHIP FIRST HAND THANKS TO TWITTER. FIRST THEY LOCKED ME OUT OF MY ACCOUNT FOR SO MANY HOURS A FEW TIMES IN A ROW AND WOULD NOT LET ME BACK IN UNLESS I DELETED CERTAIN TWEETS THEY DID NOT AGREE WITH. LATER THEY JUST FLAT OUT KICKED ME OFF OF THERE. I FORGOT THE WORD THEY USED. I TRY TO BLOCK IT OUT. I DID NOT BEG THEM TO LET ME BACK ON I JUST DELETED ALL MY TWITTER LINKS ONLINE THAT I COULD FIND. I DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF A CENSORSHIP PLATFORM. BOYCOTT TWITTER.  CENSORSHIP HAS NO PLACE ONLINE. WHAT HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH...RIDICULOUS.

BETTER THINK TWICE

Author's Notes/Comments: 

THE FIRST TWO LINES WERE IN MY HEAD FOR AWHILE...WHEN I FINALLY WROTE THEM DOWN THE REST CAME ALONG...FOR NATIONAL POETRY MONTH. I AM NOT SURE WHY THE POEM IS SHOWING UP SO LARGE. I HAVE EVERYTHING ZOOMED ON MY COMPUTER SO I CAN SEE IT BUT USUALLY WHEN I COPY AND PASTE IT LOOKS NORMAL SIZE HERE. NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. WEIRD.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

TODAY'S APRIL POEM A DAY PROMPT WAS TO WRITE A SCARY POEM. I GUESS IT IS PRETTY SCARY THAT MONSTERS ARE IN CHARGE AND ARE DOING LOTS OF DAMAGE MAKING OUR WORLD SO TOXIC FOR ALL LIFE ON THIS PLANET. THEIR REIGN OF TERROR NEEDS TO END. NOBODY WANTS TO LIVE IN A TOXIC WORLD SO WE MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. STOP SITTING ON THE SIDELINES AND WATCHING THEIR NONSENSE PLAY OUT. SPEAK OUT. DO WHAT YOU CAN.
