Preach a socially-acceptable Gospel,
And you will probably do just fine,
But dare to speak some harder truths,
Networks will say you are out of line.
Oh, yes, they will assuredly love you,
If you blend in with a lukewarm crowd,
However, talk against false religions,
And they’ll say you are much too loud.
Now if you expose the LGBTQ agenda,
The networks will not just call you out,
If you keep on pushing their buttons,
Your time there will soon end in a rout.
Trust me, I speak from my experience,
I have been banned from a few to date,
They all claim they allow free speech,
But face it, the truth they really hate.
Now if you suppose I am just kidding,
Then go to Reddit and preach with fire,
Unless you’re quietly tip-toeing around,
Before too long you will raise their ire.
They’ll descend on you just like hawks,
Your posts they will not simply ignore,
So don’t be surprised if in short order,
You find yourself shown to the door.
Well Mastodon isn’t really much better,
You see, they’ve thrown me out twice,
But they don’t even hold the record,
Because Reddit banned me thrice.
Yet Biblical truth I will never abandon,
Yes, I will still continue to plug away,
Someday God will judge between us,
Networks won’t like what He has to say.
