A drought of ideas and famine of thought <br />Will try to censor words and silence speech; <br />Stealing the license by which freedom survives <br />It is however impossible to suppress the truth <br />A bountiful plain; feeds many a mouth <br />But a healthy vine; stripped of its fruit, <br />Soon adapts to the carnivorous laws of the jungle… <br /> <br />2008 ©TS<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dark-ages-of-poetics/
