BLOW THIS JOINT!<\/p>\n

Social networks are just nonsense,
\nWhy do I even waste my time?
\nI am sick of discrimination,
\nSo I won\u2019t spend another dime.<\/p>\n

Indeed, I work so very hard,
\nAs daily I pump out God\u2019s Word,
\nYet regardless of what I do,
\nMan, rarely am I ever heard.<\/p>\n

No matter where I even go,
\nThe story is always the same,
\nI\u2019m relentlessly shadow banned,
\nAs they play their deceptive game.<\/p>\n

So why should I even bother,
\nWhen my frustration has no end?
\nOne day I will just leave it all,
\nI\u2019ll forsake this life of pretend.<\/p>\n

If they won\u2019t let me share my faith,
\nThen I really don\u2019t see the point,
\nSo don\u2019t be surprised if I\u2019m gone,
\nYeah, one day I\u2019ll just blow this joint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
