Freedom of Expression

Kingdom of Suppression

Don’t write about scary, dark depression

Especially not drug ingestion

Your poems move in a direction that just begs for rejection

It might leave a bad impression

We could tell the police, it sounds like a confession

“I’m sorry Doug, but this is my profession and it’s for your own protection”

So unless your intention is to admit your transgressions

I suggest you make some corrections

My principal had told me one of my poems was inappropriate and that I should not share it with anyone. This is the first of my two retorts.
