Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Each one a lost and stubborn soul,
Satan cackles with great delight,
As he grabs a new one from his bowl.
There will be no “Merry Christmas!”,
For these foolish people I do fear,
They refused to acknowledge Jesus,
Promoted their traditions each year.
Santa Claus was so important to them,
While Christ was left out in the snow,
To God they offered so many excuses,
But they can’t say they did not know.
There is no doubt that I am censored,
It does not matter where I even go,
The social networks got me marked,
And my posts they don’t like to show.
To the liberals it is just a mind game,
They play by their own crooked rules,
To silence all of our Christian voices,
They’ve got a whole box of evil tools.
Of course, one of their biggest ploys,
Is to say they believe in free speech,
Yet tho we post as much as we like,
Our memes are given very little reach.
Shadow banning is their favorite tactic,
It is subtle and makes them look clean,
Because while a person can post freely,
All their updates are hardly ever seen.
Thus networks censor and discriminate,
Against Christian voices no not a few,
And so the lost do not hear the Gospel,
I would not want to be in a mod’s shoe.
Someday they will be held accountable,
For so casting God’s truth to the ground,
And when they at last appear before Him,
He’ll say He does not want them around.
So get smart and stop all your nonsense,
Don’t censor, let God’s Word freely flow,
Because if you continue to resist Him,
In the end you won’t like where you go.
