Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Speechless

Dictators over speech dictate

Who shall speak out and who shall not.

These dictators want no debate.

Corporate censorship is sought.

Social media oligarchs

Have power grabbed the censor role,

Picking and choosing the remarks

Allowed, with absolute control.

Some governments do huff and puff

About censorship going on,

But are not determined enough,

In fact are scared to speak upon.

After unwanted speech does cease,

The next to come - the thought police.
