Brief Rest

“War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength; Trumpery is Reality” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flames roar higher above my head No matter how I turn, I find dread Death’s face shadowed on the wall Yet not my time to answer the call Shrink myself small and still more Slip through the atoms in the floor […]
