A drought of ideas and famine of thought
Will try to censor words and silence speech;
Stealing the license by which freedom survives
It is however impossible to suppress the truth
A bountiful plain; feeds many a mouth
But a healthy vine; stripped of its fruit,
Soon adapts to the carnivorous laws of the jungle…

Sounds more like a warning to me.
A very timely one.
