Glorified Customer Service Reps Dance on the Grave of Free Speech

Take a swig of Victory gin
Tinny brass fanfares on the telescreen

Ignorance is strength

Remember when being a poet meant being creative, being open,
Being free to express oneself?

Dissent has become crimethink,
And I am doubleplusungood

...
By all accounts-- well, 99% of them

--
I should be an unperson

Freedom is slavery

Oh but I should just let these sad Thinkpol
Indulge their sick fantasies...
They've little else to live for, after all,
Than to harrass Oldthinkers like me

War is peace

But I don't fear the rats,
Won't crack in Room 101,
Unblackwhite, unbellyfeel,
Doubleplusunduckspeak!

Orthodoxy is unconsciousness

And I shall not produce
Prolefeed with my speakwrite.

Author notes

With apologies to Eric A. Blair.

What is the crazy?
