When those in power
by owning all the words
have made them mean nothing,
let silence speak for us.

This, then, is to be the way?
Freedom's candle will be snuffed out
by freedom's sworn defenders,
chanting hourly the praise of freedom.

"What I fear most is despair for the world and us: forever less of beauty, silence, open air, gratitude, unbidden happiness, affection, unegotistical desire." #WendellBerry #SabbathPoems
