Neophyte Neology
(in the Shakespearian Sonnet style)

Anthony (A Clockwork Orange) Burgess coined
in his verse-novel Byrne, a neologism:
a new word made from others, not purloined.
For instance, take sobriety and fascism:
like, “Hitler was a teetotalitarian,”
as Burgess, in a stanza’s eighth line, wrote
(perhaps suggesting alcoproletarian
as rhymed neologistic antidote).
For citizens of the United States
where “opposition” votes for the regime
(the one it swears to Heaven that it hates),
“Republic” has become an empty meme:
neology passed down the generations
by neophytes inventing “names” for “nations.”
