Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Counterintuitive

Truths twisting tongues

into silent submission.

 

A spiteful song emerges

in place of contrition.

 

The eyes seem mesmerized

by the sudden ultimatum,

but won't ever blink

to grant the imprimatur.

I like this a lot. I'd, maybe, add 'nation' after 'imprimatur'.
