Doublethink and doublespeak words that have become synonymous with politics 75 years after George Orwell coined them.
2 + 2 = 5
Smile even though your heart is
aching,
when everything is white but
appears black,
stay calm with every risk your taking,
believe lies are truths when facts
you lack.
When the left appears to be right,
murder in the name of a faith of
peace,
arguing that black is white,
seen by big brother and the thought
police.
Listening to lies we are told is
truth,
being told to believe while not
believing,
dressing classically but remaining
uncouth,
accepting information plainly
misleading.
2 + 2 was always 4 but now it seems
its 5,
political speech the defence of the
indefensible,
accepting less food so as to stay
alive,
would a little honesty be so
reprehensible?
