\nHow do we turn
\nThis censor ship round
\nWith their blank novel arguments
\nCons truing
\nSelective fictions
\nPartisan death sentences
\nAnd even pusillanimous no\u2019ing
\nOf God forbid, periods\u2026
\nA warped wink to half the pupils
\nIn trap
\nBuy some ill literacy
\nPoor tending to be
\nMen of letters
\nErasing the L
\nFrom some pubic library system
\nAnd some educators
\nGiving F\u2019s
\nLike \u201cthey\u201d are going out of style
\nIn a feckless whirled
\nA jihad sponsored by Q
\nWho will pay the accost
\nFlooding spent levies
\nWhitewashing dues
\nPay
\nKnow tension
\nToo The Man™
\nBehind
\nThe iron curtain
\n[Red \u201cscare\u201d]
\nThe import of fine
\nDue you
\nReally mean
\nLibrarians?!
\nThey thought police
\nBe deviled by cop you late
\nSomehow superior to apprehending
\nFrayed of most anything with a spine
\nLike Fox™ in a chicken house
\nRunning in circles with their write wing
\nCraven for the fewed
\nIn gendering their junk views
\nAs love making
\nA breed of black lists
\nAnd bleeping facts of life
\nBanning every dinky obscenity posed
\nLock stock and barrel
\nIs holy
\nUp to snuff
\nAs is
\nA parochial canon
\nOr loco ordnance
\nThrowing the book at
\nIs parently
\nThe same deference
\nChop-chop
\nWeather riot or wrong
\nThe klan is really booking
\nRunning with scissors
\nAwe sides calling out
