Best Surveillance Poems

Theres a man in the sky, can you see him hiding, crouching behind the grey mist rising. 
Thunder and lightning seems to guide him to reach that height when he needs some time in the skies to hide him from deeply diving down in abyss...

Warning: Video Surveillance in Use

By Elton Camp

Those fuzzy, unfocused videos of crime
To identify robbers aren’t worth a dime

Their low quality images are the excuse
Why, to catch crooks, they’re of little use

They show vague shapes moving about
That they have much value I surely doubt

The images they...

They keep watching
Forever observing
Constantly snooping
As the public keeps on fuming

For our safety we are watched constantly
Electronic eyes unable to account
For the nuances of human behaviour
Infiltrate all aspects of living
Criminalizing us
Laying bare all our sins

Intrusive watchmen abound
Debasing all ideas of privacy
Our misdemeanours forever present in cyberspace
We...

I inspect him,
a sweetheart specimen
in a cage. 
Fluffy like winter snow.
Squeaking in tempo. 

In a cage.
Critically

he secretly watches me. 
A wave of dread seeps into my head when I scroll through 
my phone instead 
of studying.
He monitors me in captivity.

Crazy cute and certainly not mute,...

i need to stop frowning and epitomizing
and sell this Caddy to the Cardinal
trying to let it miss your attention won't fly
since writing is speech even if somewhat removed
or fit only for bouncy news anchor banter
pancake makeup a bit too aflame
like they do in shadow theater
where...

The algorithms are at work today
Gathering information of what you do or say
Google and Facebook work away
Gathering data about you in every way

If you jay walk or use your phone in the car
A photo of you will be taken from afar
And before you go home...

The era of mass surveillance
Is upon us
1984 prophecies fulfilled
But so many more big brothers
Watching us everywhere
The eyes in the sky monitor us
24/7 no one can escape the police state....

Some old movie plots
can't happen now, with changes
in technology...

You know, in a movie
when someone texts everyone
at school by* mistake*?

Who has *EVERYONE*
at school on their contacts list? 
No way that happens.

Parent-less parties
where scores show up - with modern
*surveillance systems*?

or ditching class, heck
my parents are texted my

I saw Bill Boniface
With a matching bony face
That could make one do a race
To disappear without trace!

Boniface womanizer:
Vocation, vulcanizer …
And women check profession!
Against future Recession;
Also, Facial Appearance
For Bed-Time Love Surveillance …

So, Boniface, where are we?
Whatever I say agree:
Faultless Plastic Surgery
To contain The Mockery …

And Goodbye...

All around campus there are these little black balls, like hanging
alien eggs. Glossy, obsidian bubbles concealing cameras that
record time-stamped, audio and hi-def video.

Could this surveillance footage ever be sent to parents?

*Imagining letters sent to parents about campus/dorm surveillance*

Dear Mr & Mrs Vionet, we have observed...

("Untitled", aka "The Crawling Eye", 2018, original encaustic)

Paranoid Eyes

We live in the old part of town
Where the walls have ears 
And the dark, eyes
We have learned to watch
What we say and do
Until mere husks remain
Of former selves

But we are proud
To live in such a world
Where...

I’m over Siri-ous,
I’m over-charging,
My screen time is up,
I watched at p0rn again,
My audio volumes are up,
I’m searching stupid things,
I’m not closing all my circles,
I haven’t walked long enough,
I don’t stand at all the right times,
I may be an online shopping junkie,
I’m spending too much time...

When you get a FISA Warrant/
For electronic surveillance/
From psychic spies with/
Mind Control with psionic/
And radionic technology/
They first attack you with/
Voice to skull technology/
Which is voices in your head/
Their first objective is to make you/
Appear as a schizophrenic/
Medications will only amplify/
The effects of that technology/
You know...

In the bed, under cover
Where surveillance cameras live and breathe 
Where biologics lose their way, their cause
As locomotives thrust through the tunnels
Of love, of trust, of lust once favored by the lost
In the room once cherished as exclusive
Occupied by so many members of the state
Undermined...
