O Big Brother Where Art Thou

Osiris watching from the sky

Satellite recon harvesting personal

data on you and I

Sending chills down the spine

In the name of national security

Big brother is listening on the line

Privacy eroded freedoms rights scorned

Electronic surveillance now the norm	

Everywhere you go Big brother knows

Everything you do Big Brother is watching you

Is the late George Orwell's prophecy coming true? I would hate to think so even though it sure seems like it's becoming reality. You have given us something good to ponder.

This is a scary thought. It has been building for a long time, more and more surveillance, yet I feel less secure.
