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
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.

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