ALL THIS.

By

Ross E F Lombardi.

.

To Kill a silent mocking word.

To allow a scream to die

To not allow a whisper to be heard

To promote and brag the lie.

.

To disallow dissent to be stirred.

To disallow the journalist to pry.

To slaughter the singing pretty bird.

To forbid the child to cry

.

No spirit may look skyward.

No one may stand too tall.

You MUST conform to the mewing herd.

ALL THIS to control us All.
