2017
It was a bright cold day
in January,
and the clocks were striking
thirteen.
Big Brother stood above,
hands in the air,
preaching to the loyal choir
below.
–
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
–
Propaganda produced
to those who will
swallow the pill with pride.
Suicide.
–
War can be peaceful.
Freedom is never free.
Strength is knowledge.
