Big Brother

 

Big Brother,

O thou mighty cult leader,

I’m afraid you ‘rule’, not ‘serve’,

You majestically float

above the ground realities

and cast a shadow

which clouds our minds

with downsizing rhetoric, jingoism,

ideologies and vain principles,

No wonder, we turn blind followers

and lose ‘independence of thought

and spontaneity of action’,

Our collective mind gets primed

for a doctored reality

where you turn the ultimate savior.

I’m not surprised that

you have an inherent distaste

for free thinkers, intellectuals,

artists and philosophers,

You just hate anyone

who doesn’t fit in the

the mold of your doctored reality.
