Through the Looking Glass

Winston holds his glasses,

And puts them in his lap.

He gets a piece of paper,

And then the glasses wraps.

Damaged goods and useless tools,

That's all that they are now.

Crushed under boot of Reaper,

Crime he can't allow.

How many specs are there for apes?

Not many, as he knows.

But that's the price of swinging free,

To brawls that he must go.

And so the glasses hit the bin,

The fallen of his life.

And he knows he'll lose more glasses,

While this world knows strife.
