Banned Book Club VII- 1984
Midtone grey surrounds what’s left of a man’s soul
Scenes of biblical abominations troll
Inky are the hellish horizons appalled
An okay is needed for anything at all
Manipulating truth determines your life
Erasing individuality is part of your strife
Robotic neurotic, emotionless choice, nary a voice
Force proles controlling every movement
A new history engraves the stone 'tis

1984 - The End of Big Brother
To whoever may be listening:
At exactly 6:33am today government radar detected twenty-seven incoming nuclear warheads from Eurasia and Eastasia. As a result, Oceana has deployed all existing nuclear weapons to both continents in retaliation. This fake war has suddenly become all too real. My friends and colleagues, the end of all things is upon us.

Time 1984
Time is a funny thing,
time does not always seem real.
Governments and their rulers,
come and go.
Some are good to their people and country,
while others only destroy.
Can they be brought to their knees,
maybe ~ sometimes?
When we are living in today,
we have real time.
Can we now see or understand,
the many years that will come?
Then one day we awaken,
to

1972, 1984 and forever
in 1972, i read 1984
when you're fourteen, 12 years seems like the distant future
the government could watch your every move
horrifying
i guess, they can do that now, through our devices
what if that government is totalitarian
what if reality, as reported in the news,
was controlled by marketers, corporations, and politicians
manipulating you through your emotions
spoon feeding you based on

Future After 1984
"Four"
Four
With that word, the world came to an end
In flames of nuclear power
That man did send
Death
Swept through Eastasia and Eurasia
The scale was tipped by one last breath
Oceania’s
Pride
Three
Three giants threw spears at each other
A scorching war destined to be
And Big Brother
Died
Nuclear sunlight beamed through cracked glass
Waking up the proles, who

2023: The Year of 1984
Propaganda all day everyday filled the air and minds:
weak minds read only headlines and never ever dared delve further;
strong minds dared asked what is truth, and finding truth, were canceled.

What Do 1984 and 666 Have In Common
George Orwell tried to tell 1984
but here's what 1984 told us
1984 was the year we had
The Terminator
the ultimate movie
about Artificial Intelegence
with the ability to travel through time
Today we have AI
Let me be the first to name it
The Terminator
It also has the ability
to pass through time
Soon there will be
no need for employees
No

1984 and Counting
Speak no ill of our 3 letter government agencies;
they are always watching out for our rights,
they are working for us.
Don't you know you are just peddling enemy disinformation!
Don't you know you are just repeating
conspiracy theories?
Nothing to see here.
No one is above the law except....
You will be considered an extremist
if you protest, ask no unauthorized questions.
Never

Say No To 1984
In years to come it might be said,
‘I never realised this is where it led,
It just crept up, I just went with the flow
Nobody told me how things would go’.
Nobody explained what I took for granted
Would be taken, by those who commanded
That I conform and do not speak out
About the injustices they openly flout.
I

Boss Called Me Dumb In 1984
I could not resist screaming and yelling at my highest level.
I have never been this out of control.
My husband heard about it at lunch.
And he works in another department
I was shrieking so loudly, and yelling the F word all over the place.
The other stockbrokers looks scared
As if they had never heard or used that word.
I

For Sean Knowles, 1984-2021, Brother
For My Brother Sean,
1984 -2021
I can't say I'm mad
Though mad at you, I am.
I cant say I'm sad,
Though so very sad I am.
I drive a path everyday
That leaves me open for dead
I pleaded silently to ask you
That which I of myself, couldn't ask.
I heard the news today
That you've been sent away.
By bad luck or

He Left Me In 1984
He Left Me in 1984
David J Walker
He left me everything he had
unique
the way that fathers
Never seem to say
Exactly what they mean like
I love you
He left me with my slice of
The sense of guilt
Between a father and a son
Things not said
Things left undone
At best, assumption and
Hopeful presumption
He left me
