動物農莊裏的BLM

昨晚做了一個夢，我來到了那個動物莊園。醒來恍然大悟，原來奧威爾80年前就提出來了ALM——Animal Lives Matter！

農場裏的動物在豬的領導下，推翻了歧視壓榨他們的Jones, 建立了自己的自治政府，確定了憲法“七戒”，憲法的核心就是：“所有動物一律平等”； “四條腿好，兩條腿壞”、“所有動物都是同誌” 。沿著偉大的理想，它們又創立的國歌“ Beasts of England。”

Soon or late the day is coming,
Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown,
And the fruitful fields of England
Shall be trod by beasts alone.……

For that day we all must labour,
Though we die before it break;
Cows and horses, geese and turkeys,
All must toil for freedom's sake.

Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken well, and spread my tidings
Of the Golden future time.

可喜可賀，動物們在這嶄新的理念之下過上了幸福美滿的生活，糧草豐富，言論自由。然而golden future time沒有持續多久，國歌改了，開頭是這樣的：

Animal Farm, Animal Farm,

Never through me shalt thou come to harm!

當高大威武的伯克夏豬拿破侖掌權後，國歌又成了這個樣子：

……

Thou art the giver of
All that thy creatures love,
Full belly twice a day, clean straw to roll upon;
Every beast great or small
Sleeps at peace in his stall,
Thou watchest over all,
Comrade Napoleon!

Had I a sucking-pig,
Ere he had grown as big
Even as a pint bottle or a rolling-pin,
He should have learned to be
Faithful and true to thee,
Yes, his first squeak should be
"Comrade Napoleon!"
