Sestinia (a sestina)
Every time I see memes pertaining to 1984
on SM, lamenting the loss of free speech,
I’m reminded of the little-handed dictator
in Oceania, dismantling freedom, little by little;
all the while doubling down on doublespeak;
prompting the proles into believing the opposite;
demonising people in the party opposite;
rousing rage, reminiscent of hate week in 1984;
firing up the flock with blatant doublespeak;
condemning free speech, in the name of free speech;
preaching Christian values, whilst pointing his little
digit at a Democrat, denounced as a dictator,
by the absolute epitome of a dictator;
threatening to sue media outlets of opposite
opinion, who dare to highlight the suffering of little
kids, killed daily since the completion of 1984;
three years after a denier of free speech,
via the expertise of a manipulator of doublespeak,
died in a bunker, along with the doublespeak
manipulator, before the army of another dictator;
with his own twisted view of free speech,
leading a party as extreme, yet opposite;
and very much an inspiration for 1984;
fought their way in, and found little
more than ashes and teeth, from what little
is known; upon deciphering the doublespeak,
alluded to in the, not then completed, 1984,
that could’ve been written with either dictator,
in mind, each being identically opposite
in their approach to curbs on free speech;
but in any case, both dystopian, free speech
denying, totalitarians, along with their little
minded followers are long deceased; the opposite
number expiring shortly after doublespeak;
predominantly that of the longer lived dictator,
was coined in a fictional account of the 1984,
on the telescreen opposite; as doublespeak
destroys free speech, and the little
handed dictator, makes 2025 equal 1984.
