Big Brother Is Watching

Big Brother is Watching

By Elton Camp

Of my phone calls Sam’s keeping track
In case I am planning a terrorist attack

None of my e-mails can come or go
Without Uncle knowing that it’s so

My Facebook he does scrutinize 
With his beaming, knowing eyes

But says patterns are all he does seek
He doesn’t read or listen when I speak

And I know that is bound to be true
Sam’s honest in all that he does do

If I’ve naught to hide, why fear
So let him both read and hear

The one with that job will find it tough
For what I publish is mundane stuff

The president I would never assassinate
For senseless violence I thoroughly hate

Nor would I bomb some public place
Such cowardly acts are a total disgrace

So go ahead, Sam, and take a peek
However, you won’t find what you seek
