Orwell news

 Pennies in the hands of miners

Stocks and shares go underground

Anywhere you find shoe shiners

Liberty is lost and found


And the rainbows and the diamonds

Shining out in summer times

Can you see the Maypole flying

Colours of the flag in primes


Count me in or count me outwards

I am like the acrobat

Flying from all the high wires

 Swinging high or falling flat


Don't make roller-skates for spiders

Don't make gates for garden climes

There the blue bird waits his fate

But love and hate the church bell chimes


Singing homage to Catalonia

Keep the Aspidistra flying

I am nearly home to ya

Even though my eyes are crying


In the house of the new spring

All the white things lie

Like worms on strings

And carpet baggers

Liars will their tongues soon tie
