Orwell’s Slogans

Are coursing / coarsen

Through our veins

Like heroin

To a heroin addict

Addicted to dichotomies

That black is white

Up is down

Right is wong

“War is peace

Ignorance is strength

Freedom is slavery”

– George Orwell

.

Why else would society

Accept the notion that

No one is above the law

Till “their” guy “breaks”

The law

Where as in any humble

Projection of the past

There is no way

As the sun will be here today

That the last

Oval office occupier

Would have gotten away

With a fraction of

The treasonously immoral

Impeachable offenses

.

I once heard of morality

Only to discover

It was herd morality

Pushed by an economy

The hamster wheel economy

As long as everyone is running

No one serms to notice

The cage is getting smaller

The screens are getting bigger

Sadistically satiating

‘Their ego empire

The ethnic rich

Their cruelty of class

Imitation opulence

Crumbs to look like

Cake to the masses

Cake to the masses”

.
– John Trudell

“The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens long enough to notice what is happening.”

– George Orwell  “1984”
