Statue of Limitation
Set high upon a lofty plinth
From flawless marble fashioned,
A great libertarian stands,
An advocate impassioned
By the ideal of tongues being free
To speak at will, unrestrained,
Brooking no dark despotic moves
Towards having words detained.
This patrician rhetorician
Raised in the free market place,
For all his lofty appearance,
He’s a second, hidden face
That looks in favour of free speech
And open democracy,
“Unless,” his cold eyes seem to say,
“You dare to contradict me!”
