The Censor The news today, so they say, is quite frivolous concerning hearsay. (intolerant) They’ll no doubtmisprint, to make mint, of all terrible incident. (relevant) Words are chosen carefully, to guide the mind in urgency, towards conformity. (normalcy) Deftly distracted from what matters, in format of idle chatters, leaving truth in tatters. (bringing you, important, drivel) They’ll work up a scare, and present as if they care, of anything besides flair. (cliff sheer, because) Nothing that’ll incite, will be permitted to write, we’ve kept it hidden from sight. (considered trite) Nothing pornographic, latest reports on traffic, we’ll stick with the classics. (drastic) Nothing self-degrading, the masses need persuading, got to keep up the ratings. (personal, people, religion, acceptance) Nothing artistic, or to be interpreted, we’ll do the thinking for you. (abstract, fact-checking) Nothing but tragedy, for all eyes to see, as this is reality. The reader is a whore, who’ll always come back for more, to keep up their social décor. (galore) By Giuseppe Gillespie 2021 *Try highlighting the text to see the original structure
