Absolute Truth (Rubiyat Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Has society at large come to the place
where it does not anymore want to face
the way that absolute truth tells how life is
and is their in our lives and forums not a place

for Freedom of religion and Freedom of Speech
when to others we do with our words reach?
Is the truth nowadays just relative in how I want to perceive it?
Does prime evil now everything beseech

that on Christmas Day I am totally banned
by Facebook, which on that day may be undermanned
to post poems about Christmas and of the Child, the Man, Christ,
and now the day after those poems go through and I cannot understand

just what those poems did say to annoy anyone
but do perceive that at Facbook mere humanity is gone.

[Poet's note:The warning message did state that I was "misusing Facebook" and that I might have said something that I may not.]
