Some Pigs

Some Pigs

A Poem by John Alexander McFadyen

Some Pigs

Specifically, what is it you want from me?

Am I a mere pawn in your game of world domination

or am I a player?

When the chips are down do I have control

or am I stranded and powerless in the eye of the greedy hurricane?

I live in a place where information is free and available

on a global scale, almost.

But who feeds me with my fears and my desires?

Who sets the boundaries, limits my voice and my choice,

denies my appeals for a fairer society?

Why is it I am a free thinker and yet so many are not?

I thank George for my salvation for I will never deny

1984.

This is something quite different. So, you work in the Ministry of Truth, this poem could be punishable by death you know?

Very unique read and title, enjoyed the show.

Well, have a long and complicated story and started it as an autobiography on Bebo but got writer's block/memory fogging. People liked it though and kept asking for the next chapter! fools.. more..
