I Betrayed You

My Found-Pantoum poem for the book 1984 by George Orwell

Under the spreading chestnut tree

I sold you and you sold me

You don't give a damn what they suffer

All you care about is yourself

I sold you and you sold me

There will be no loyalty, except loyalty toward the Party

All you care about is yourself

Don't do it to me, do it to somebody else

There will be no loyalty, except loyalty toward the Party

There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother

Don't do it to me, do it to somebody else

I betrayed you

There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother

You don't give a damn what they suffer

I betrayed you

Under the spreading chestnut tree
