Inspired by Sadje’s What do you see #180
book burning
book banning
there is no difference
fascism
oligarchy
there is no difference
oppression
depression
there is no difference
where is the utopia for all
not just the paradise for the few
an egregious display of the hunger games 2.0
the powerful watch
as the will of so many is ignored
or shushed into silence
ill-gotten dominance rules
over those seeking comfort
in a world already hard enough
why have we not learned anything from history
“Let not anyone pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.” John Stuart Mill
