"Angkar [the government] has the many eyes of the pineapple." -Khmer Rouge propaganda slogan, found in Pol Pot's Little Red Book: The Sayings of Angkar, by Henri Locard.
Many-Eyed
Hanging off tree limbs
Dangling in the road
Pasted onto stoplights
Looking at cars go, go, go
Though you want to look away
There's no way you can
These Eyes that spy have stories to tell
So you must listen, look at them
They run with invisible tears
From the acid used to wash them out
And now hang with little eye-nooses threaded through
Not unlike their former hosts' bodies strung up
Above the muck
Don't look too closely
Tarry not!
Or you may just find
A familiar eye or two
