    This 6 stanza poem criticizes the totalitarian government depicted in George Orwell's novel 1984, where "Big Brother" constantly monitors citizens and controls all aspects of life. The poem questions Big Brother's supposed care for citizens by changing truth and taking away resources, while also noting that no one dares oppose or speak out against Big Brother's lies and control over thoughts, as that would result in being killed. The poem ultimately questions whether Big Brother truly acts for the good of all citizens.

    Persuasive Poem on 1984
    Big Brother is watching the poster reads
    Big Brother is law is etched into minds
    Big Brother is right in everything
    Big Brother is truth when truth is changed
    Big Brother is giving when stocks take a fall
    Big Brother is caring but what is that?

    Big Brother is lying has not been said


    Big Brother is hurting not one but all
    Big Brother controls thought, mind, and soul
    Big Brother is bored watching to amuse
    Big Brother is daring all to oppose
    Big Brother is killing all that oppose
    Big Brother for all?
