The Eye In The Sky Bruce McCorkill

eye in sky

 

Big brother–a pervading presence in our sky

Possessing an insatiable need to know

He requires us all to meekly comply

 

Do we ever wonder why?

Or do we just leave it so

Big brother–a pervading presence in our sky

 

How many times do we try?

Resisting his relentless undertow

He requires us all to meekly comply

 

Our private selves are just a lie

We secrete our lives in a steady flow

Big brother–a pervading presence in our sky

 

His watchers, all so cunning and sly

Data banks stretching row after row

He requires us all to meekly comply

 

When we all finally die

Where will our secrets go?

Big brother–a pervading presence in our sky

He requires us all to meekly comply

  1. Love it Bruce, ‘ Possessing an insatiable need to know’ – CJ Dennis asked if we have the right to Know in a piece in his book, The Singing Garden. The Quiet Hour, you might like to Google that one Bruce.

  2. Having now been to old and new Parliament Houses, I am confident it is Pollies or Bureaucrats or both pervading our lives…….forever
