POEM "Social Media Suspension"

 

Social Media Suspension

By Richard H. Fay

Exiled from the electronic town square,
Silenced by a system inhuman and unjust,
With soap box snatched from 'neath his feet, 
The suppressed castoff screamed in vain,
But his righteous racket went utterly unheard,
Stifled by a despicable robotic despot!

Blocked from broadcasting his indignation
To any and all algorithm-approved audiences.
Prevented from participating in online patter,
Excluded from expressing his exasperation,
The ostracized outcast was rendered mute, 
 Repressed by an automated authoritarian!

Banished to a baneful and barren oblivion,
With tongue tied by a tyrannical technology,
Made pariah on that most public of platforms,
Turned invisible to his innumerable followers, 
The suspended soul cursed his circumstance, 
Made speechless by an artificial autocrat!
