Liberté
Thy pen; no mighty sword here preach
Where words, metallic, fall.

Whence censored bullets rain,
But fallow not among the dead
Doth liberty remain.

Que connaissent les journalistes,
Dessinateurs et satiristes :
Au nom de Dieu, ou pour soi-même,
On ne peut tuer, parce qu'on n'aime
Pas une idé...
