“I am the Liberator. I promise freedom if you open your door…
a little blood is a small price to pay”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chicken Little of the modern age
\n“The sky is falling” the media rage
\nThey follow him through the darkest wood
\nHe knows they believe, or at least he should.<\/p>\n

The fox, who the acorn threw
\nOpens a door and leads them through
\nBut sends Chicken Little out the rest to warn
\nBring them to his den before the dawn.<\/p>\n

The wolves and the vultures and the carrion crows
\nSmell the blood where Chicken Little goes
\nGet fat on the freedom he preaches
\nNo victims learn from the lessons his lie teaches.<\/p>\n
