Silence A Few…

The 74 year old with hair most blonde

Of social networks not really fond,

Started his own little news feed.

At least your ears won’t bleed….

Head over to Donald Trump’s desk!

About Romney and all the rest

The usual laundry list of bitching

For a Republican civil war, he’s itching!

It’s all stuff you’ve heard before

Honestly, it can be kind of a bore…

However, the fact he needs to do this

Something with social media is amiss

Per Facebook’s own oversight board

It cannot act like a medieval lord

Arbitrary, out of nowhere standards

Don’t be Tywin Lannister, have some manners.

Social media sites aren’t all the same

But they seem to follow the usual game.

Opposing views they don’t want to discuss…

On Twitter, the Ayatollah caused much fuss

Calling Israel ‘a cancerous tumor’….

Not violent at all, simply good humor!

The Drumpf is certainly not without sin

Yet, for freedom his ban is not a win.

Once they silence a few

Then, they come for you.
