BANNED!<\/p>\n

They said they were really big,
\nOn respecting everyone’s views,
\nBut they didn’t like my stuff,
\nMust have given them the blues.<\/p>\n

Only four days after I joined,
\nMy user account was suspended,
\nTheir diversity policy is bogus,
\nWhy else was my time there ended?<\/p>\n

The LGBT crowd was very welcomed,
\nAnd people with any other taste,
\nBut regarding Christian opinions,
\nHa! They kicked me out with haste.<\/p>\n

But I am not going to sweat it,
\nI’ll just post on other networks,
\nNothing can put out God’s flame,
\nHe will take care of those jerks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
