Imagine a World Without Free Knowledge
Wikipedia.org, 18 January 2012
The keeper of the quiet books
has risen, thrown the lock across
her darkened door, and rallied
to the polar cause.
Yes, they've closed the library.
Between those charging bulls, eternal
life and waning hope,
the matador of learning
stands, naked, tilting for
a larger slice of some day's pie
from unborn mouths. I watch
through one unclouded eye
the trembling sand darken then still
before a dusty shroud descends
to bury the scuff marks left
of the matador's remains.

Note: The key word here is 'polar,' which refers to being of an extreme, as in a polarized argument.
