HALL MONITOR
They stand in halls
Monitoring behavior
Waiting for unscripted
...movement
With paper and pen
Thought recorded
As evidence against
...difference
No matter the location
The system, firmly, in place
Keeping tabs on
...choice
Grown folk tattling
On game changers
Trying to alter narrative
...with action
Authority made aware
Power stripped naked
Souls being "self"
...in LOVE
Power vs Relationship
Leaving live wires
Trying to connect
...to source
Without Surrender
