We’ve traveled back in time my friend. In places our country
isn’t bombing, Big Brother stares judgmentally at you through your phone.
There is so little care about the scrutiny, and the man who
tries to break the silence is punished somewhere secretly by the
government. We all knew he would be
punished. We all knew those brave enough
to protest would be taken away.
We, ladies and gentlemen, are living in 1984. Keep your poetry to yourselves, do not buy
quaint little knickknacks, fear storeowners, and do as your television
commands.
And yet, we are not living then. We are not all dressed in coveralls and
abstinence is merely something for schools.
We are in 2013, a time when the criminals are not sent to be
rehabilitated to learn that 2 plus 2 is whatever the government demands, but in
a world where people try to execute them.
We live in a dystopia where those in power such as Donald Trump declares
he does not wish to waste time with trials, and demands ‘spy’ Edward Snowden be
killed.
What sad tale are we living?
Is it our complacency? Are we
driven to find excitement and ignorant of the flaws of our society that walk
past us? Are we too afraid?
Personally, I believe we feel we are lost. We need direction and a real leader to aid us
in rising against the bloodthirsty ones we have now.
If I’m right, you’ll never see this post.
