"2084 (The Beasts of Orwellian Burden) Entry 12"

"The Howling of Dogs"

Sing a song,
A song called 'oppression'.
Let it be heard,
All across the fields.

Break a chain,
A chain of affliction.
No more borders,
No more deals!

And if you can hear us
Then why aren't you listening

Say a prayer,
A prayer for the dying.
Withered hearts,
In a nuclear age.

Shed a tear,
A tear for the broken.
Restless children,
Show your rage!

And if you can hear us
Then why aren't you listening

The howls are lost,
On winds of conformity,
and ignorance.
Leashed like you want us to be

Sing a song,
A song called 'repression'!
Forget the things,
We once believed in.

Tears of anguish
Screams of pain

The new regime marched in silence...
So we never heard them coming.

  1. This is some good verse and somewhat prescient in light of some of the events of this past year.
