1553 And All That

No sooner did the printing presses start to churn
than books were stolen by the spies of city states,
and the material removed from printers
before it could be published. And heretics
were tried, their bodies burned to unknowingly
fan the flames of future freedoms,
that in those times could not have been
foreseen or imagined.
