The Drone Knows I Am Alone

Having the peaceful right  
On a clear night 
Hearing tranquil sounds 
Watching the twinkling lights downtown 
Not expecting any interruption
From deceitful local corruption
But to my surprise  
Someone’s undermined lies
While sitting alone
There was a drone
Flying around
Taking pictures of the ground
As it buzzed  
Doing what it does 
I stayed still
Could it fire and kill?
After a few seconds 
Of doing checking 
Seeing nothing there 
And I was scared
It did have a heart
And a war it did not start 
You see, it is not all right
On a clear night  
To bother someone alone  
With an invading drone
In fact  
It is classified as an attack
Beckoning the response “take that
you neighborly nosey brat”
