The Silence of the Farm: An Allegory of Laws, Collapse, and the Folly of Speech Without Freedom
When every word is forbidden, silence becomes the loudest tyranny of all.
The Silence of the Farm is a satirical allegory of laws, nation building, societal collapse, and the folly of enforcing "free speech" commandments without common sense.
In a hidden valley once thought to be paradise, a community of animals frees itself from human masters and sets out to build a just society. Their first and greatest decree is noble: Do No Harm. But what begins as protection quickly becomes perversion. Soon, even words are declared violent. A pig is dragged to trial for calling a goose's garden rows crooked. A rooster is muzzled for crowing at dawn. Offense becomes currency, silence a badge of virtue, and justice a circus of absurdity.
As courts swell with complaints and fear strangles every conversation, the society crumbles into famine and despair. Only the mockingbirds, perched above the valley, continue to sing freely-jeering, laughing, and exposing the hypocrisy of laws that punish the citizens while sparing the outsiders. Their voices ignite questions the court cannot answer.
From the rise of noble intentions to the collapse of common sense, this allegory is both tragic and bitingly funny-a fable of crooked laws, crooked rows, and the crooked logic that turns safety into suffocation.
