Censorship Poems
Edmund Dorf
by Richard Johnson
Gaslight poured upon Berlin
Masking the cobbled tapestry
A smoke screen for the bourgeoisie
To blinding the rich from happenings
Sitting under dying neon
Are the local girls and whores
Who’s anger-coaxed blood is quickly mopped
By the smokey-glazed floor
I forgot to crack a smile

Expansion of Silence
by Nosheen Irfan
Some voices we cannot hear now
Voices that were tortured to silence
Words cascaded down into the river
Merging surging by their own will
Suddenly silence spread its sheets
For the birds of prey hovered above
Now words must seek permission
If they have to beat the silence
For the instincts of the predators rule
And small birds are ready to die.

March of The Ants
by Frank Costabile
It's liberating to see through someone else's eyes
Where all choice is lost to a collective guise
In unity is strength; valour is to fight
To keep our black sun burning bright
You go through life like what you feel is forged in steel of a sword you weild for a new ideal
