In Dedication to Huxley

By Andrew R. Duckworth

Should you find a man eager to say
We do not belong to ourselves
Be sure to keep away!

Should you find the signs that say
All work for all
Keep away, I pray you!

Keep free from their conditioning you away
From saying things they don’t want you to say
Or finding the answer inside a book
That one world authorities meant to take.

Your spirit thrives when you are free
To be one who you are meant to be
In a world where they tell you you’re the same
In a place where we play a mindless game.
