Libel

If I believe in freedom of speech
then I'd better be certain that
I don't say anything bad
concerning powerful
men with expensive
lawyers or they
will bankrupt
me in
style

Oh, very cool, insightful poem. BTW - Thanks for your comment on my poem "Divinity" - There is no hidden meaning behind the tulips names "Dark Beauty" and "Flaming Parrot" - Those are the actual names of the flowers. I was struck by those names and thought they would be lovely to use in the poem. :-)

The reason Satan took the form of a snake was because there were no lawyers back then. An attorney is a legalized prostitute. In America we don't judge a man by the size of his crime but by the size of his wallet. The bigger the wallet the more rights he has. If assholes could fly, Washington would be the workld's largest airport. Vince
