So true. Let's hope there are enough wise and courageous people in this world to stand up to tyranny.

My opinion: wisdom is a better poetic choice. I think by saying freedom, you're just stating the obvious. It would be like saying, "when famine is rampant, food is scarce". But, "when famine is rampant, morality is scarce", THAT has poetic depth.

would it have been better to say "freedom" do you think? I was wanting to get the idea how people are seeming to lose their common sense as things get worse in the world!

For sure--well said, Andrea. Wisdom and freedom--both wilt.
