“From Thickoes Easily Offended”

“From Thickoes Easily Offended”

By: Steve Cook

POEM FOR GIORDANO BRUNO, Italian philosopher and astronomer (1548-1600):

Giordano Bruno declared
The Earth goes round the sun,
In voicing his idea he dared
To annoy the Vatican.

In a spirit of Christian mercy
He was sentenced to the stake
And burned in screaming agony
For his heretical mistake.

The Pope of course contended
Bruno was at fault and liable
For expressing things not mentioned
Anywhere in the Bible.

If I’d been Mr Bruno
I’d have kept my trap well shut,
Contacted Galileo
And quietly written it all up.

These days of course we never
Burn heretics at the stake,
We just slag them off on Twitter
Or call them libtards, fools or fakes.

So I guess some things are milder
And we live in a world less cruel
And people perhaps are kinder
And less vicious as a rule.

Be glad that reign of terror
Long ago was ended
And all we get is slander
From thickoes easily offended.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
