Sheeple, Sheeple, Everywhere.
Baaaahhh!!! Is all that I hear.
Conventional wisdom thinking
Contrived from contrived fears.
And ignorance, of course.
We must never forget
That ignorance and fear
Are the filthiest of friends.
Well armed with these farces,
Sheeple will often spout
Lying slogans and mantras
Like obedient trout.
Sheeple don’t think or wonder
Or question how and why.
You can lie to their face
And they will pay it no mind.
The lie can be anything.
Doesn’t matter anymore.
It’s whatever the pleasure.
Even the weather or more.
Long, I’ve had a question.
The answer I fear I know.
When did they start lying?
My lifetime or long ago?
The more we search history,
The more we dare explore,
The most telling secret is
They don’t teach what they taught before.
Wise men often try to tell
To sheeple conditioned and tame
That Power has always lied
And Power is always the same.
Orwell was not a prophet.
Not a foreseer but a sage.
He didn’t describe his future.
He was describing his day.
Yet what he knew of Power
Sadly, will never change.
The enemy of men like Orwell
Is our enemy still today.
A foe that shall remain
Lifelong companion to us all.
A battle not to win or lose
But the battle to stand tall.
Never squander your resistance.
Do not be sheeple or a slave.
Cognitive dissonance and pain
Are the only benefit it pays.
Greats like Orwell root for us
To mold the world to our desire.
To challenge the authority.
And live with courageous fire.
So think hard, question everything.
Never fear what they might say.
Or, be condemned forever
To the same fate day after day.
