SUPPRESSED! <\/p>\n

Man, I am so majorly suppressed,
\nThere is no other way I can say it,
\nI would think they would not do it,
\nUnless their bosses didn\u2019t okay it.<\/p>\n

Yes, they answered to Congress,
\nBut they lied through their teeth,
\nExactly how do you think I know?
\nMy posts still remain underneath.<\/p>\n

Yes, it has not made a difference,
\nShadow banning is still going on,
\nEven tho social network owners,
\nWant to sell us a different song.<\/p>\n

Oh, how they all love to inform us,
\nHow they are big on free speech,
\nBut what they try to keep hidden,
\nIs how they also limit your reach.<\/p>\n

Regardless of whatever you do,
\nThough you post and post all day,
\nThe simple truth you will realize,
\nFew folks see what you even say.<\/p>\n

So let me give this clear warning,
\nTo all big-headed network bosses,
\nTho you still limit our free speech,
\nYou will all suffer eternal losses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
