Orwell's truth: 'a revolutionary act'

After the fall

By Mike Marcellino

In a time of universal deceit –

telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
- George Orwell

                                                         

Stolen quotes

stolen hours.

Together,

day and night

frozen by time

after the fall.

A knight cold

in amour,

drinking

Irish whiskey

riding after

a girl of twenty

away

in a vegan powered bus to Omaha.

Stolen quotes

stolen hours

together,

day and night

frozen by time

after the fall.

Anarchists hidden

in castles of fog,

on grey naked fields

of Midi-Pyrénées

and the Counts of Toulouse

after the fall.
