the eye in the sky

THE EYE IN THE SKY

The eye in the sky

Knows all, sees all

Hears all, understands all

The eye in the sky

Watches over us

Everything we do

Is monitored, controlled

Under surveillance

There is no privacy

There is no private space

The eye in the sky

Knows all

Everything we do

Everything we see

Everything we think

Recorded by the unseeing

Uncaring eyes

The cameras, the videos

The computers that control

Our lives

Ever watchful

Ever diligent

Nothing escapes

The cold, calculating glares

Freedom is nothing

But an illusion

To the free man

There is no freedom

Except in one’s inner mind

Only there

Can one escape

The eyes in the sky

No one monitors our thoughts

Except our own thought police

The rest of the world

Is controlled, monitored

Under constant surveillance

The eyes in the sky

The camera in the sky

Watches over us

All the time

All the time

24/7

Never stopping

Never on strike

Never on break

All day long

All night long

24/7

Total control

The eye in the sky

Is the same

As the eye

In the dollar bill

All the same

All the same

Watching us

No one can escape

Its baleful glances

No one is free

Aye the eye

In the sky

Is always upon you

As you become

A mere number

In the cosmic game

Of life

Up behind

The eye in the sky

Big Brother is watching

You and me

And big sister too

And crazy Uncle Tom

And wild auntie Em

God, and the Devil

Rama, Ganesh, Laxmi

The Buddha bar gang

Jesus is there as well

Mary as well

And you must be knowing this

That even Saint Nick,

Santa Clauss and the Easter Bunny

And Father Time himself

Are there

Zeus and the Jupiter gang

And all the demons and spirits

And the big spirit

And Brahman, Gabriel, Allah

Mohammad the prophet too

And the CIA, Mafia, KGB

And spies and counter spies

All are watching us

Spy Vrs Spy

The tooth fairy is there too

She gets her 10 percent

All the same

Watching us

Forever and ever

But the eye

In the sky

Does not care

Does not notice

What we think or feel

The eye

Watches us

All the time

Recording our movements

And reporting it to its masters

Its job is to watch

Us

You and me

And the billions of others

On this alyssum called Earth

The question came to mind

That has no answer

Who is the eye in the sky

Is it God

Is it the devil

Only time will tell

The difference

The eye in the sky

Smiles at us

And watches and watches

And watches

All the time
