Haiku / Nineteen Eighty-Four

Go To

Disillusioned man
Tries to break dystopia
Is himself broken.

"War is peace" they say
Big Brother is watching you
Doubleplusungood.

Not Room 101!
No! Do it to Julia!
He loved Big Brother.

Dodge K-Cars, Walkmans
Video tape, Mike Jackson
Orwell? Who is that?

Newspeak deletes words
If unneedful or ungood
Haiku not so different.

Imagine a boot
Stamping on a human face
To see the future.

And if I should slip
If my veil should ever fall
Big Brother awaits.

—Mimey

Big Brother watches
Yet all the appendices
Are in the past tense.

Two plus two is five
According to Big Brother
And always has been

Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate!
Aw, hullo, Rab, it's yourself.
Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate!

There is peace in war
Happiness in slavery
Death in defiance.

Two Plus Two Make Five
God is very powerful
Why do I think that?

—Pyrarson

I long for thoughtcrime.
I learn that two and two makes five.
I love Big Brother.

—Inkidu

Doubleplusungood
Mumbling dissent in your sleep?
Go to Miniluv!
->—DemonDuckofDoom

Nothing but hatred
A boot stamping on a face
That is the future
->—MrBubbles

Nineteen Eighty Four
Is the name of this novel
Yes 1, 9, 8, 4

Doubleplusungood
we're at war with Eastasia
Big Brother Watches

PERHAPS IT'S ALWAYS
THE YEAR NINETEEN EIGHTY FOUR,
LOOK TO HISTORY.
-Unperson

If two plus two equals five
Then the syllables in this haiku don't matter
Screw word limits, hail Big Brother!
