Big Apple Drones

so Bloomberg has no problem
with the coming of the
drones---
that’s right folks,
the mayor of your city
has no problem with invading your lives
to the point where
the swooping
electronic 
birds
can come right down & seek you out,
so that the pigs can be 
absolutely
everywhere at
absolutely
every 
time.

happy to be in the city?
happy to be an american?
happy to be watched in this 
“democracy”
like an ant under a
microscope?

feel like a criminal,
even if you aren’t?

let me ask you this---
does it make you feel like you should
give em’ something to watch?
has it gotten to that point yet?

it will.
