1984

A horrid world held together by a thread.

Barely can some even afford an extra loaf of bread.

We crossed paths that we should not have led.

We are hopeless for there is blood that must be shed.

Yet that is something that will be left undone and unsaid.

We are a snake divided, a tail separated from its head.

We allowed ourselves to be walked on and tread.

We got some of what we wanted.

But now forever we will be eternally haunted.

We gave into what we were taunted.

Now I live my days feeling incredibly daunted.

Over 150 years t'was said "four score".

Now we are in a freedom war.

And each other we tore.

We sold out our rights.

Sold out our freedom, no better than whores.

Now evil reigns.

And it will forever soar.

History will be rewritten.

All those previously good and bad people will be forbidden.

Forgotten and forsaken. 

They will be a societal sore.

This is the worst thing to have mistaken. 

If it doesn't happen now,

Then it surely will.

All of the lore.

Will become misled.

We will all be better off dead.

When we will be living in 1984.
