Big Brother Is Watching

By Elton Camp

On Facebook, Bill can’t seem to realize
Criticizing the government isn’t wise

It’s brought their wrath on him before 
And now he’s done the same once more

Suspicious words he continues to use
His old Uncle Sam it does not amuse

His every post Sam is scrutinizing 
That he’s in trouble isn’t surprising

Guns in hand, they’ve got him surrounded 
His wife is both angry and astounded

“Bill, to do like this you cannot.
Why, you could even get me shot.”

If the authorities you continue to gall,
A tank may punch a hole in the wall!”

He sits at the computer and types away
And ignores every word she does say

Federal agents burst in and haul him away
Say that his country he attempted to betray

Whatever may appear on the Internet
A close look from Sam is going to get
