This was inspired by all the censorship on social media and online platforms these days, and by the people who seem bound and determined to keep so many new and creative ideas from spreading in today's world. Overhearing one conversation in particular sparked the idea. There are many names for people who work to censor, attack, downplay anything creative that they don't like. But I call these people douchbags, generally. This poem is NSFTMC... Not Safe For The Metaphorically Challenged.
The Douchebag's Warcry
Kill the artist
That's what we must do
Silence the writer
Who speaks what's true
Blind the visionary
Who shows us hope
Hang the sculptor
From a very short rope
Stab the photographer
Who shows us what we miss
Make them feel the venom
And hear the snakes hiss
Muffle the poet
With his flowery nonsense
Light fire to the circus
Burn every one of the tents
Take the filmaker's camera
Steal the rapper's mike
Rid the world of musicians
Ban those I don't like
What's happened to society?
Let the great scourge start
In the name of the Creator
Kill all the creative arts
