Orwell


Welcome every boy and girl

To this arbitrary world

Watch what you say and who you meet

You never know who is lurking on the street

 

You know somebody is watching

They know right where you come from

Your name is stamped under a number

Crammed into their walls filled with paper

 

I think I know why we are so quick to be violent

We are always looking for something in the background noise

What may not appear

Is the fact they play on our fears

Making us turn onto eachother

They showed their true selves

They are the terrorists

The dragged us down into their hell

 

The prying eyes are who to blame

Along with the money they gain

While they single out strange names

All the while they lock us into ourselves

Turning our homes into our prison cells

 

Be good kids

Lock them out side

You knew it would be like this

Orwell was right

Hey everyone, I'm a very thoughtful and introspective aspiring writer. I've gone through some heavy stuff and writing helps tremendously and I joined powerpoetry to keep me inspired and going and help deal with the demons. I love music, making independent short films and music videos and of course writing.
