A Better World?
I woke up in the pages of 1984
A place where sense and logic
Had been kicked out of the door.
Where the virtuous amongst us
Were those who toed the line
And standing up for freedom
Became a heinous crime.
Where once familiar faces
Could no longer be seen
And swathes of common people
Saw dissenters as unclean.
A place where masks and muzzles
Were written in to law
And children stood in bubbles
Or a circle on the floor.
Where mass, state-sponsored child abuse
Became a common theme
