Time for our X-odus!
In defiance of the forces that manipulate and suppress, this poem calls for an "uprising" to defend truth
and our freedom of speech, against the forces of censorship, fake news and misinformation led by Musk,
Trump and his rebellious, subversive henchmen. Musk’s efforts to restrict or abolish "Community Notes" threaten
the very foundation of truth and free expression on his platform threaten the very foundation of truth and free
expression on his platform.
A platform built on freedom's name,
Now churns with lies, a ruthless game.
Musk tightens reins, and Trump, unbound,
Spews venom, wrecks truth on the ground.
Zelensky, praised by those who fight,
Is torn apart in the public's sight.
A "dictator," they shout, a false refrain,
Spreading their lies to stir the disdain.
The algorithms, those unseen hands,
Mold every thought, take rigid stands.
They feed us rage, they stir our fears,
And strip away what truth appears.
Community Notes, once a place of trust,
Now shackled by greed and lies unjust.
Musk seeks to filter, to stifle the rest,
Twisting the truth to serve his quest.
The panther in Rilke’s cage still paces,
His weary eyes devoid of spaces.
His world is shrinking, the bars grow tall—
Behind them, no answers, no voices at all.
But we, the people, will rise and shout,
No longer silent, no longer out.
For freedom of speech, for truth we fight,
To tear down the dark and bring the light.
We’ll leave the cage, we’ll break the chains,
No longer bound by false refrains.
The X-odus is here, the time is now,
To reclaim the press and lift the vow.

Your second stanza is heartbreaking - how long is he going to get away with such outrageous lies?
He 'promised' that he would become a dictator and he is hell-bent on it being sooner rather than later.
