Nothing wrong with writing it in a lyric as art though...

I appreciate that you have stopped posting political. Good move.

But, 2 things...

1) Your "lyric as art" statement holds no water.
Songs which contain lyrics, have a message. The message of the lyrics is a primary element or they would not be there.
To have to listen to a clearly expressed political statement, yet be denied redress or critique of the message itself...?

...is tantamount to being asked to write an essay on the dependability of your current automobile, yet denied any mention of the engine.
No sale there.

2) This site has drifted away from "songs." The writings of yourself and Moe evidence that as much as anything else.

As for me...
If I see a really good song posted, I might give an attaboy or attagirl...but this is not one, yet is a political statement barely veiled as a "song."
So I will respond to what I see.... until banned.

Gotta go today.
Can't get back to any of this until tomorrow morning or the next or next.

Have a pleasant day.
