SHOOT THE MESSENGER

"It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own." Herbert Hoover

SHOOT THE MESSENGER

Let them spew their dialogue

Let them try to warn the masses

Let them try to prove me wrong

May they all look like asses

Let me control the media

Let them be in awe of me

Let my detractors look paranoid

Even though I contort reality

Let my power grow boundlessly

As free speech gets old and tired

Soon I will be in control of thee

And let free speech be now expired
