This Orwellian World

It was sometime during the 1940s George Orwell 
wrote the acclaimed novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four,
a book exposing a societal condition of pure hell.
The policy of draconian control has never meant more
than it does now as political doublespeak takes place.
Greedy powermongers are guilty of leading lands to war
and hypocrisy runs rampant in government. It's a disgrace
to the

An Orwellian Perception

An Orwellian Perception

“Don’t worry, the ‘Thought Police’ are with you.”
To bring stability, harmony, and tranquility
and hope for your offspring, fresh out of the fertility bank.
So be leery of persuasive genetic failures
who mate their genes for sexual gratification
to produce inferior genetic sub-humans.

“For we are the chosen and not to be manipulated.”
By these mutant genes who, like

An Orwellian Conception

An Orwellian Conception

As long as they see what you assume they see, and they agree,
then, that’ll be the reality we’ll assume you want to live in.
If this makes sense, then be at peace among friends.
You can sleep innocently; no-one will mete out punishment!

The past can’t be erased, but we can mitigate the consequences.
There'll be no

An Orwellian Explanation

An Orwellian Explanation

Orwellian in nature, data collecting agencies are necessary;
They keep adding info to the files created at someone's request.
Everything gathered is retrieved, analyzed, and assessed,
So there’s no need for alarm. Live your lives as you see best,
And maybe a minor infraction discovery occurrence at worst.
And a penalty imposed, nothing unbearable, “A small price for

Orwellian Encounter

I was sitting blithely on a summer day
When a child of God unleashed a threat.
So to the nth degree... it was lecturing me
And I could see it was quite upset.
I had no desire to offend...
And listened carefully to what it would say.
As it unveiled its plan... to the matter at hand
And listed my many sins

We Live In Orwellian Times

We live in an Orwellian world

we are living
in an Orwellian 1984 world
and have been for decades

we are assaulted daily
by alternative realties
promoted by various politicians

designed to shut down
all rational thought
true Orwellian thought control

and now with the corona virus
massive surveillance
has become the norm

and when the crisis is over
the surveillance will continue
on one excuse after another

forever as Orwell’s

Orwellian Rise

We live in a world where world leaders do what they want
Shoving nationalism down our throats here there and everywhere
From Putin the Dog’s Neo Soviet adventures in Ukraine and Syria

To President Trumpton’s use of American weapons like toys
Via England and Wales kissing goodbye to Europe in Brexit
There is misplaced national pride everywhere

Including Turkey’s Erdogan the

Orwellian Nightmare

Is the world shrinking into an Orwellian nightmare
Where we are controlled and no longer dare
To be different from others in this world
With what the Internet and Facebook says is what is held

And leaders who look to control us to take over this media
With Presidents taking to Twitter  to feed it ever greedier
Kim Il Jong

Orwellian Times

More paper work to fill out about your personal business,
the taxman and bank tellers being more inquisitive,
you have no health insurance or car insurance on your vehicle,
the motor vehicle department and govt. watches like an eagle,

One day soon we'll become totally cashless,
just using our debit cards to purchase items on a daily basis,
the latest being

Orwellian Eyes

Architects of time
We control your mind
As, robotic cameras
Watch, these Orwellian eyes
