“The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink.” – George Orwell (1984)
Here’s the problem.
The old man will tell you
what is going to happen.
And what he will tell you,
that will happen.
And you will either admit
the old man was right or
you will forget or
you will hide and ignore.
What’s been proven to happen
over the last seventy years,
hell, shit, yeah,
he was right all along.
Many, many years ago,
decades,
his friends had said,
his epitaph will be
HE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG.
