The Day Freedom Of Speech Fell Silient Poem by Daniel Hooks

Today newspaper articles weren't printed
or even hinted at.
Today the news on tv didn't tell a word of truth
or care for proof.
Today internet blogs were thrown off the server.
Today the common man wasn't heard.
Today the backbench rebel poltician wasn't allowed to say a word.
Today spin did win
Today were all brainwashed
squashed beneath propaganda and censorship
Today freedom of speech had its tongue cut!
