I look horrible.
Red eyes, hair messed, fat as fuck...
yet, I hit record.

A Censure to Censors

 A Censure to Censors

They speak of banned books with their trembling pleas,
and decry censorship and oppression.
but you’ll see them in local libraries
and book stores, so it must beg the question:
What censorship could they possibly know,
when corporations rally around them,
And their every claim of mirth and woe?
And the media is quick to condemn
anyone who disagrees with their words
so under the threat of losing it all,
silence of dissent is so nearly assured,
keeping on that great work of the cabal…

But should I want to read Rivera’s words,
or buy items with his labor’s logo,
I find my efforts are quickly deterred,
blocked sites and sales, driving me loco.
Shit, no matter the rebranding or name,
or the whimsical slogan or fast quip,
still holds the same look, and smells all the same,
and the same holds true with “Soft” censorship.

For, as he fought against the Communists,
He’s cast in an unfavorable light.
So even though his poetry exists, 
far from España, means far from my sight.
So, don’t whine to me in sniveling tone,
for I won’t buy into your deception!
Your claims of censorship are overblown
when your “banned” books have their own sale section!

In the meantime, I will find where I may,
El Ausente’s prose and his poetry,
and hopefully soon, there will come a day
when our people can finally break free
From the eternal foe’s shadow control.
No longer fractured, the West standing whole,
and reclaiming the birthright our foes stole,
and as one, great and free, Cara al sol.
