We Are Being Watched
We Are Being Watched
By Elton Camp
Most anywhere today that we happen to be
It’s likely we’re under some type of scrutiny
On streets and at stores, the cameras abound
Both outside and inside the devices are found
To that I personally have no serious objection
It surely helps authorities in crime detection
For an excessive invasion of privacy it is not
If it can help foil a theft or some terrorist plot
But an annoying practice that we all must face
On the Internet, our movements are traced
Even then some checking might be okay
If violent or treasonous things we start to say
If anyone, the president threatens to assassinate
The government has a right, the plans to negate
When the snooping is done for commercial gain
Some law should require from such to refrain
Assume that on the Internet every move u make
There’s someone who secret notice is going to take
