The Watching Eye
In the pool of giving, man will throw his pennies
Displying for those who record such entries'
He regrets that in this land of plenty;
we must sacrifice the few for the good of many.
The watcher knows of mans intrusions;
And his propensity for God like absolutions.
He has seen the indulgences of mans conclusions;
That he stealthily hides behind illusions.
In the name of freedom come the plans;
For the good of all of man.
But it's catch as catch some can;
And forget where we began.
Perpetually in awe, to his mind the watcher draws;
As if seeing in a crystal ball, he knows that man could surely fall.
In illuminated halls, he records the injustice of it all;
It is then he does recall, still on hands and knees man crawels
