THE EYE IN THE SKY
THE EYE IN THE SKY

The eye in the sky
Knows all, sees all
Hears all, understands all

The eye in the sky
Watches over us
Everything we do
Is monitored, controlled
Under surveillance

There is no privacy
There is no private space
The eye in the sky
Knows all

Everything we do
Everything we see
Everything we think

Recorded by the unseeing
Uncaring eyes

The cameras, the videos
The computers that control
Our lives

Ever watchful
Ever diligent

Nothing escapes
The cold, calculating glares

Freedom is nothing
But an illusion

To the free man
There is no freedom
Except in one’s inner mind

Only there
Can one escape
The eyes in the sky

No one monitors our thoughts
Except our own thought police

The rest of the world
Is controlled, monitored
Under constant surveillance

The eyes in the sky
The camera in the sky
Watches over us

All the time
All the time
24/7

Never stopping
Never on strike
Never on break

All day long
All night long
24/7

Total control

The eye in the sky
Is the same

As the eye
In the dollar bill

All the same
All the same
Watching us
No one can escape
Its baleful glances
No one is free

Aye the eye
In the sky
Is always upon you

As you become
A mere number
In the cosmic game
Of life

Up behind
The eye in the sky

Big Brother is watching
You and me

And big sister too
And crazy Uncle Tom

And wild auntie Em
God, and the Devil
Rama, Ganesh, Laxmi

The Buddha bar gang
Jesus is there as well
Mary as well

And you must be knowing this
That even Saint Nick,
Santa Clauss and the Easter Bunny

And Father Time himself
Are there

Zeus and the Jupiter gang
And all the demons and spirits
And the big spirit
And Brahman, Gabriel, Allah
Mohammad the prophet too

And the CIA, Mafia, KGB
And spies and counter spies

All are watching us
Spy Vrs Spy

The tooth fairy is there too
She gets her 10 percent

All the same
Watching us
Forever and ever

But the eye
In the sky

Does not care
Does not notice

What we think or feel

The eye
Watches us
All the time

Recording our movements
And reporting it to its masters

Its job is to watch
Us

You and me
And the billions of others
On this alyssum called Earth

The question came to mind
That has no answer

Who is the eye in the sky
Is it God
Is it the devil

Only time will tell
The difference

The eye in the sky
Smiles at us
And watches and watches

And watches
All the time
written after I started noticing that surveillance cameras are everywhere and some one is listening and watching us all the time. Enough to make you paranoid. © Apr 2015, john Cosmos Aller
