Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

Fear of Big Brother

Only the top Air Force and Navy brass
Know of our treaty with alien planets
Authorized by Eisenhower to capture and study humans
As payment for sharing their advanced technology with the USA
Shelly stopped typing and stared at her paragraph
Would Big Brother censor her if she shared it?
Would they eliminate her and her family?
Two hours later a SWAT team knocked down her door.
They carried her off into the night.
She was screaming, but the neighbors pretended to hear nothing.
As fearful of Big Brother as she should have been.

Valsa George March 8, 2022 at 1:54 AM I wonder how does Big Brother get instant information ! I feel sorry for Shelly .... :) Caren Krutsinger March 8, 2022 at 2:21 AM I think the Echo Dots are two-way communicators and we have 5 of them at our house.

Gershon Wolf March 7, 2022 at 9:01 PM Sounds like 'Big Brother' has added a few 'team members' there. ~ Mr. 'T' Caren Krutsinger March 8, 2022 at 2:21 AM I would tell you who is on the team, but then they would have to kill me.

Not that I say anything I'd worry about, but I just don't like the intrusion into my personal life. Kim Rodrigues March 7, 2022 at 3:22 PM Both of your comments! LOL! Caren Krutsinger March 7, 2022 at 10:24 AM I love them though; we have five of them in the house; because we figure they are bored with us and turning off our conversations.
