Alone With The Drone
Having the peaceful right
On a clear night
Hearing tranquil sounds
Watching the twinkling lights downtown
Not expecting any interruption
From deceitful local corruption
But to my surprise
Someone’s undermined lies
While sitting alone
There was a drone
Flying around
Taking pictures of the ground
Why was it here?
All I am doing is chugging this here
Beer
Legally bought
Being old enough I thought
As it buzzed
Doing what it does
I stayed still
Could it fire and kill?
I think not
I pondered nervous and sweaty hot
If it comes any closer
I may fear being a fried roaster
Quickly it disappeared
I no longer had anything more to fear
Except Iosing, the evening’s festive cheer
Dampening my pants
Looking like I made an advance
On the drone
Spying on me when I was alone
To combat this voyeuristic try
I went inside
Sighed
And decide
Not to blow a fuse
Turn on the news
Reporting the enemy was the accused
Calm I did become
Knowing things were done
But how do we stop this evil invasion?
And the distrusting questions it is raising
Keep acting humble
Let the machine go off course and tumble
Then crumble
Or maybe the drone will learn the lesson
Realizing its handlers, started confession
You see, it is not all right
On a clear night
To bother someone alone
With an invading drone
In fact
It is classified as an attack
Beckoning the response “take that
you neighborly nosey brat”
