Attempting To Submit A Poem Poem by Terence George Craddock

upon attempting to submit a poem
machine control programing repeatedly
denied me submitting it under topic

'censorship'

thus I eventually
topiced it 'writing'
to ease slip past

escape machine mentality
swift posted promptly
right past censor nose?

next poem
wanted to topic
'dictators'

and then when
that important topic
title was rejected

'tyrants'

but that was subsequently rejected
so we sorrowful sadly appeased
machine list yet again set settled

for safe life topic 'philosophy'
anyone see a think box problem
with narrow band tight topic lists?
