In this America

“I laid in bed, wrapped in the freedoms of this country and when I woke, you forbid me to truly speak.”  -Beth 

In this America, 

in this era, truth seems to disdained, censored and erased. It is has simple as removing(temporarily banning)you from social media. 

In this America,

lies and truth war one another, through social medias, many focus on the minuet details rather then the bigger picture, the move behind the push.

In this America,

voice only matters if the words and stories conform. What is said and spoken against this conformity is where the war lay,

You’ve come and stood,

upon my doorstep, 

You’re a constant 

gaze through my window.

You ever attempt to silence me

but,

I will speak of humanity and the rights being violated unjustly. 

Remaining silent on unjust wars and censorship only allows the wrong parts of government and human nature to grow. 

I will speak out for those of humanity that are displaced, the refugee and those opproessed through censorship(to name a few),

I will write for you that your humanity may find a home within me, that your wrong may find justice through a pen, that your voice silenced, may find expressions through paper. 

Side note; this is a factual expression. I have shared and spoken out the truth through social media and woke to find through a simple notice, I was temporarily removed(banned) from social media.

When truth is removed, only one thing can replace that…a lie….

Every lie carries a portion of truth, this is how a lie justifies the judge and any unjust actions the judge hands out. 

–this is not an anti trump post, it is however about the unjust dealings of a government and the silent war waging.  

Sorry for the what seems to be a rant but I am frustrated with what has transpired and my currently being temporarily banned. Comments are welcome and I will be glad to explain the reasons. Thank you for reading this

            3. True, we are hoping for a democracy and yet losing it, piece by piece. I feel as though my words and posts have to conform and appease but I can’t do that. I’m not trying to sound or be like this rebel of sorts, deep within me I just can’t conform, if I do I feel as though I’ve sold my own self out, my words and thoughts. Should be interesting times ahead

            4. Non-conformity. That’s what great, effective writers are made of. We live that dangerous life of having an opinion in 2017!

      1. Who will speak out, if not us? It takes courage to fight the status quo and that’s something to be extremely proud of because it means breaking out of the conditioning and brainwashing we were all put through as we grew up. Democracy is about taking a stand and not caring what others think about it. Without the voice for freedom there is no hope.

        1. So true and well said…speaking outside of the box and trying to get others to do the same, ex. through thought provoking writings, this however seems to be frowned upon because it goes against social media standards(conformity). If I go along with this, I feel as though I’ve sold not only myself, but my words and thoughts. I can’t do that…thank you
