To be free—to be No more; and by a freedom to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That Mind Control Boss is heir to: 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To feel, to escape; To escape, perchance to kill Mind Control Boss—ay, there's the rub: For in that escape of murder what freedom may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal Boss, Must give us pause—there's the respect That makes calamity of so long slavery. For who would bear the whips and scorns of Mind Control Boss, Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of dispriz'd love, the Zombie Government's delay, The insolence of office, and the Mind Control That patient merit of th'unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a dead Boss? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under Sadistic Torture, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovere'd psychological slavery, from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear that Mind Control we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus fear doth make heros and martyrs of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale Zombiesm of Boss, And Mind Control Enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose their Mind Control Boss forever.
