Poem

Listening devices carefully hidden in the rafters compete with

Nosy neighbours vying for a few favours from the governing party

'Nothing to fear' as long as one is on board with the Secret Police

It is all for the good of the people and order must be preserved


Today surveillance cameras are out in the open for transparency reasons

They bug phones for democracy and follow my banking transactions

No place to hide even if you live in a cave because of satellite navigation

No respite for Socrates who states under torture that he knows nothing at all


We need the drones for Amazon and cannot recall the breast plated armour

Eaves dropping is merely a bit of collateral damage and small price to pay

Nietzsche was wrong and there are gods called money power and war

Fortunately the little devices work on solar energy under cover of justice


A couple of raids and a token Constitution on turning tables and shelves

Life Liberty for the Pursuit of happy domination and servile acclamation

Mein Kampf mixed with George Orwell and flies devouring the good Lord

Fancy armbands searching for books to burn and people willing to follow


I blamed my father for not standing up for freedom when Jews vanished

When smouldering ashes of Gypsies and of whom they called deviant

Must have stung his nose into nausea and when he closed his eyes

'It was not me' he may have claimed and that the orders were not negotiable


'Fight the beginnings' and when 'right becomes wrong opposition is duty'

And yet while the news flash by like a soap opera from apathy and hell I

Only buy a hoody speak in whispers use paper money and break my phone card

But I am more than a bystander and therefore guilty of treason and cowardice
