SOCIAL DICTATORSHIPS<\/p>\n

Behold the social dictatorships,
\nThey go by many different names,
\nBut when you take a closer look,
\nThey play the same elitist games.<\/p>\n

Each day you make many posts,
\nYet very few even seem to care,
\nThat’s because the real reason is,
\nThey just don’t know you’re there.<\/p>\n

They promise freedom of speech,
\nAnd it is true you can post away,
\nBut if your stuff is shadow banned,
\nDoes it really matter what you say?<\/p>\n

All your posts will not go very far,
\nUnless you fork over some money,
\nOr else you must be someone big,
\nThen you will get exposure plenty.<\/p>\n

They have got Christians in a box,
\nPreaching to the choir we can see,
\nSo we are unable to reach the lost,
\nWith words that can set them free.<\/p>\n

It does not matter where you go,
\nThe story is pretty much the same,
\nThey won\u2019t let you shine for God,
\nWhich is really quite a shame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
