Winston and Julia
Julia, the thought police heard every word we’ve said.
There is a chopper near the window to chop off our head.
I believe we are just as good as dead.
There was a television screen hidden behind the picture on the wall.
Big brother was watching and listening to it all.
I can hear their heavy boots as they are coming up the stairs.
What about our inevitable fate? I don’t think any of them cares.
I should never have trusted O’Brien. We have been betrayed.
Yes, they caught us and will take us away, I’m afraid.
Based on the novel "1984" by the late George Orwell
