"they cant read our
thoughts
yet"
yes - the important word here is "yet"
Oh, it's so depressing, my friends told me to stop reading books like "1984" but I can't help it... Looking at the world today, you've got to realize that authors like Orwell were right about most things they predicted, it's kind of scary...
I love how you connect the book with today's reality in this poem. I love the ending, such an unusual but very true thought, I think.
Thank you for entering my contest and thanks for being so patient.
Keep on writing!

I think.
In so many ways our privacy and rights went out the window before the early nineties hit. I am not sure if America's is dead yet but certainly on life support. An interesting view. I am glad that you can still say what you feel and write it.
