P. 64
A Minor Dispute?
Big Brother is here
The all pervading state –
Though not the State
That Orwell saw –
Not the State that he conceived,
But the state of muscle, envy and greed.
Not the totalitarian State
That he envisaged on Jura,
But the state of mobocrity
Triviality and furore.
Big Brother is here, in ’84, George,
Paid up member of the miner’s lodge.
What’s happened then, in ’84?
What restraining influence can
we now look for?
