In a World

In a world where being brainwashed is the law,
Where suspicion is crime,
And where independence is rebellion;
All you can think is “BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.”

Who is Big Brother?
Never seen or heard, but he is world-renowned.
He’s a metaphor of a corrupt version of God,
With his junior spies and telescreens functioning like demented angels of heaven.

In a world where isolation is the key to ignorance,
Where people are programmed to be oblivious,
And to believe in altered history and “unpersons.”
Basically, to listen to lies that become the truth.

In a government of contradictions:
The Ministry of Peace, provokes war;
The Ministry of Plenty, plans economic scarcity;
And the Ministry of Love, prevents true love.

The misconceptions of the Party’s slogan:
WAR IS PEACE,
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY,
And IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

In a world where you may start to realize the government’s game,
You may test how far you can rebel before fear gets the best of you,
Or before they get you,
Before the Proles realize your suspicion and take you away.

In a world where the place where there is no darkness is a mystery until you get there,
Until you find it’s Room 101 or better yet a torturous rehab.
It’s there to discipline the ones, who try to outsmart the system,
But they can’t.

Until you learn either through the hard or easy way,
“You must love Big Brother. It is not enough to obey him;
You must love him.”
Or else, you vanish.
