Pigs

Pigs

the pigs are not my comrades
they live in houses
and sleep on beds
they drink beer
and walk on two legs
they have forgotten the 7 commandments

the pigs are not my comrades
they beat us with whips
and threaten us with their dogs
the pigs are acting like humans
are we doomed to repeat history?


I read Animal Farm today by George Orwell. Hence the poem. Yesterday I read How to talk about books that you haven't read by Pierre Bayard. It was a book about how to talk academically about books by being very vague and junk. The book kinda discouraged people from reading books because reading a book actually makes it harder for you to appreciate it. I dunno. After reading that book, it made me want to read more books that maybe I should have read. I looked online for arbitrary lists of the top 100 novels of all time. I found a list and now I'm gonna try to read them all this year. I started a little late so I'll have to power through it and try to catch up. I need to do a book every 3 days. I currently have 6 books at home to read. Praise the Lord for public libraries.
