Watching (poem)
At our ease
Thoughts to please
Peace to seize
They’re watching
-
On the street
Things we greet
Home’s retreat
Watching
-
Words on phone
Moans and groans
All we own
Watching
-
Madness and sadness
Pervades through our life
Meeting our needs
Telling us what we want
Watching
-
Thoughts in head
Might have said
Jokes we spread
They’re watching
-
Viewing show
Mindless flow
Letting go
Watching
Watching
-
Endless and hopeless
Prying ears and eyes
Promising safety
As something else still dies
Watching
-
Lives they saved
Money’s knaves
To our graves
These depraved
Still watching
Watching
