Big Bro

As you walk down the city streets
there is an unseen eye
that watches every move you  make
as if  you're  some sort of Spy

 It watches for the terrorist
that may be plotting to do us  harm
and also for the tourist
performing guile with charm

There is no escape from this electronic eye
that  invades our every move, and makes us often sigh
We are being watched  everywhere we go
by that ubiquitous fellow known as "Big Bro"

Joseph, I prefer the Big Brother reality show on tv. It's a lot more fun than GOVT Big BRO. Good entry for the contest, my friend.
