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?
