“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
We hear them scream and yell These “swallowers of slogans” As would claim the great Orwell. “The human soundtrack” chanting “LOCK HER UP” and “BUILD THE WALL!” Never thinking what they’re saying Is propaganda protocol. “Unquestioning devoted drudges” Just along for the joy ride When “ignorance is strength” Full of patriotic pride. Don’t believe the bad “FAKE NEWS!” They lie and are corrupt It’s just a massive “WITCH HUNT!” Democrats have made it up. He’ll “DRAIN THE SWAMP!” He’ll “BUILD THE WALL” He’ll do it all, you’ll see! Because thinking is a crime With a lifelong penalty. As I read “1984” by George Orwell, many aspects of his story were quite applicable to today’s political rhetoric. Certain phrases caught my attention “swallowers of slogans”, “the human soundtrack”, “ignorance is strength”, “unquestioning devoted drudges” and “thought crime”, that I felt compelled to write a poem about it.
