Orwell was right

Children fight,
Call each other names,
And are branded racist.

A grandmother
Protects her home against a mob,
And is arrested.

A couple
Oppose taxes used to promote the pink vote,
And are branded homophobic.

Oppose ID cards
As curtailed liberty,
And be branded a terrorist.

Raise you voice
Against “The Word”
And the Thought Police knock on your door.

Public servants
Demonstrate major incompetence
And are promoted.

Murderers and rapists
Are set free
To re-offend at will.

Politicians rail
Against modern immorality,
And are caught with their trousers down.

Walk in the street
And a thousand electronic eyes
Watch your every move.

Your thoughts
Your life
Are not yours.

The Word is everything,
All else is heresy.
Big Brother wears a suit.

Truly, the lunatics have taken over the asylum.
