Censored

I’m disgusted that the BBC have removed a 3rd post I have put up. They are refusing to allow me to say what I believe. Something else in the world that is being denied me. How the hell am I supposed to get heard by the world when no matter what I say, in the way it needs to be said gets stopped. Seems even that road the door is being slammed in my face. Ang phoned and told me she’d be on 4pm train. She finally got home about 4.45. Took dogs out for a wee about 7.30 and fed them at 8 after the One show and Eastenders. Left Ang watching Holby while did this post. Managed to get another piece of Alien done
“I want to finish my poem though. I’ll be about half an hour” I said getting up and going back to the computer. I opened a file a started typing.
And with that the Unicorn died.
Part 8.
I raised the sword high
Wondering why it had to die
What I’d done felt so wrong
I realized, no birdsong
The valley was silent and still
In my stomach I felt ill
I picked up the severed head
Of a creature so dead
I ran to my tethered horse
And set a hurried course
To the sea I must ride
As tears I cried
This deed I had done this day
Felt so wrong in every way
Part 9.
I raced along
With no thought of song
And placed the sack
From my horses back
At the wizards feet
When I arrived at the cave entrance
Said he “It is their defence”
“Bring it inside with great haste”
He then took a saw he had there
Removing the horn without a care
“Come watch real magic loyal friend”
Then taking me to the caves end
There she lay, wounded and dying
I knew not what the wizard was trying
Part 10
He raised the horn above his head
Then words again were said
“Give life as you can”
Then the spell began
The wounds began to stop bleeding
The wizard was pleading
“Please be in time”
I understood my crime
The last stallion had to die
The wizard had no time to say why
She was here to be saved
She was no longer enslaved
The wizard had got her away
From torture that day
Part 11
As the spell took more hold
The cave grew so cold
Then she began to move her head
The wizard screamed “She’s not dead”
She began to rise as her wounds disappeared
He said “It’s not as I feared”
You arrived in time as I prayed you would
We have done all that we could
Now his offspring can carry on his line
And I owe you all that is mine
She wandered over and smelt my blooded sword
Then she said something I barely heard
“You have the protection of us forever”
“We will desert you never”
Part 12
When I realized what the wizard had said
I replied “I just need a bed”
“I’m tired from the ride today”
“Let me sleep my aches away”
“When I have slept we will talk again”
“I need rest from my pain”
I turned to her and bowed low
“I thank you for the gift you bestow”
I reached and stroked her mane
Her pleasure was plain
"Climb onto my back" she said
Then out of the cave we did head
And as we rose into the sky
I never asked her why
That was not my plan
It’s how it all began
After finishing I closed the file and realized Ang wasn’t in the room.
