"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
Thomas Jefferson
but what shall we do about the termites of disinformation?
that seem to hollow out this tree every year?
is there a point at which the blood will no longer refresh?
and we are left with a dead tree in coagulated pool?
how long until the termites leave?
and we only have firewood of dead dreams?
