we interrupt
our regularly scheduled daily coverage
of the ongoing global lock-down
permanent nightly curfews
neighborhood transgression patrols
facial recognition surveillance
mandatory vaccination programs
national immunity passports
government identification implants
segregated quarantine encampments
termination assessments for seniors
and restrictions on all non-state sanctioned pregnancies
to bring you an urgent message
from famed dystopian author, George Orwell
who has miraculously risen from his grave
to address
this momentous time
in human history:
“GUYS!…GUYS! PLEASE! FOR GOD’S SAKE, CALM DOWN!
NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR IS F I C T I O N ! IT’S ONLY A NOVEL!
REALLY—IT’S ONLY A BLOODY NOVEL!“
