Censorship

Censorship

No one knows how it is

When you open the book

A small letter can

Take away your soul, your

life, your healing, take you 

to a place where you didn't decide 

become, what was not meant for

It was just a game, a curiosity

No one understands. 

Censorship 

Reviews

[Dennis Wolf]

Censorship.. It'd be simple minded to say that censorship is all bad. I wouldn't like to see kids exposed to weird fetish porn and horror stories and whatnot.. But there is such a thing as overdoing it.

In a nutshell, censorship is limitation on art. It's just a step away from all out dictatorship.

I think the same, Dear,
it's just that some things are not meant, but they are there; :S ----Maynard

On the whole, I am against censorship. Still, not everyone should have access to violent porn,

This is a wonderful homage to the power of books, of the printed word's ability to transport us. Sometimes this is a pleasant journey, sometimes it is not. We cannot deny the power, and yet not all information is beneficial. I detest censorship, as it is the antithesis of freedom. This poem gives one much to think about!

Thank you so much, Dear Zoe,
I am thankful of your mark words,
Excellence, to you, bite my thumb at censorship,
I read the Bible and it gives me comfort. God,
embraces I. I write romantic horror most of all, and would crush if no one read such, because of its read. Yet, I do run away from particular write, for the reasoning as mentioned. Thank you so much, and good greeting, -----Maynard
