    Freedom of Silence: De Tocqueville Was Right~ a poem Jan 13, 2019  Free to speak, but not to dissent,
Once a majority is irrevocably pronounced
Perpetually this mass adores its opinion
And the thinker, so abused, withdraws to silence,
Chains and executioners are coarse, indeed,
No spark of brilliance can long exist
