They Now Where You Live

They Know Who You Are 

We are spied upon just 
like zoo animals 
and we get fed false news 
regularly 
patronized by politicians 
and lied to.
But when an individual 
exposes the lack of privacy.  
What we write and whom we talk to 
is noted 
to be used against us 
when time is right.
That person who spilt the beans 
must be silenced, 
our zoo keepers call 
such a person  seditious.
