Animal Farm Poem

Seven
Seven comandments that would start the rebellion
The rebellion in Majors eyes
Equality and Peace the animals thought
But not according to the swines

Power, control, and dictatorship they thought
Would make us feel happy and free
Who cares about the others, their all just a bother
Soon, it'll be all about me

They all worked so hard, so willing
Not an ounce of their effort was spared
Except for the cat, the pigs, and one horse
Who never seemed to be there

Though somehting strange was happening
All the children where whisked away
Not to mention the apples, the milk
And possibly some of the hay

The rules were changing
One after another
The animals had suspicions
And a few of them muttered

'Were those words there yesterday?'
or, 'Is that what they had said before?'
But if the leaders heard anything, that troubled their plans
Soon, they'd be out the door

Time went by, the rules constantly changing
Until there was no justice at all
By ones and by two's were the 'comrades' killed
By three's and by fours, so soon would the farm fall

The leaders however, didnt spare a passing glance
To the ones who put them where they were
The lies, the manipulation, just kept on coming
But never once did they answer

A question, so important
A short one, not too terribly long
WIth meaning, and wisdom, and importance, it was:
'What will we do when they're gone?'

Soon, so soon, was that question known
once the farm was turned to chaos
the pigs and doomed themselves into oblivion
... oh well, their loss.
