Big Brother

I used to vote Republican
little that I knew;
colors blend together,red white and blue;
Big Brother watches from far and near
it matters not what cloth we wear;
his eyes roam this once free Land,
devouring him who takes a stand.
Big Brother ours has grown quite gross,
he watches us like Eagle doth.
So if you believe that your vote counts,
think again,
Big Brother knows it wont.

This is an excellent write, Ryan. Please either use "Free Verse" or "Rhyme" under the Form of your write so that it can be used in contests. As long as it says "I don't know" they won't take it and this is too good to let get by ... smile ... glad you're at the Soup!
