Intrusion

Prying eyes on a peeping screen 
Shouting curses in between 
Minding someone behind closed doors 
Eyes on the ceilings and the floors 

Making one's life an open book 
Just like a ticket for a look 
Intrusive eyes find a way to ride 
While someone finds a way to hide 

Making a logbook for one's mistakes 
While cold hearts bet for the highest stakes 
Why must one endure the pain 
Of being a puppet for a gain?
