Telescreen

Let's workshop another poem about a dystopian reality, nothing like our own, where activists run even the universities!

Telescreen

Any hesitation
in the war 
on oppression—
saying “Wait a minute,
shouldn’t we consider x?”
or “Well, 

what about this?”—
itself counted
as oppressive 
in that land unjust 
in placing justice 
higher than truth.
