Eye on You

An eye-opener about the world we live in.

If you feel alone,
You're mistaken, don't you see?
From a distance, they watch,
Knowing what entices thee.

Your footprints, they track,
Nothing you can erase,
Everything you discard,
Has not spared their gaze.

You believed them to be kind, 

Yet they cloak themselves in deceit,

 Gripping the world's reins,

 Disguised as friends so sweet.

You can't elude them
They know what you hide
This is the end game
There's nothing you can hide

First read of yours..
I understand your feelings, but we just need to be careful what we do or say.
Just something I noticed.
In your 1st Verse 4th line I think you meant allures ...not allure.
and in your 3rd verse 2nd line I think you meant fiends not fiend.
Also, I really think this could be a much stronger poem if you added punctuation.
I say all this because I do like your thoughts...
When I review I like to be honest,

Thank you, Lisa! I so much appreciate your review. It's very helpful for a novice like me. I made some correction. Bless you!

[Lisasview]

Delighted to help! I see you made some changes... Reads better now.

Yes indeed, it does seem as modern societies move forward, technology advancement etc, there's a flip side, one's privacy somewhat compromised as if an arbitrary authority has access to the lives of individuals as they go about their daily routines, perhaps even bedroom, bathrooms offer little to no solitude to such oppressive regimes...... Perish the thought!!!

Creative, contemporary penning, thought-provoking in essence!!!

Thank you for reviewing, Tom. I'm actually surprise that more people are now aware of what's really happening behind.

[Tom]

Yes, it's rather disconcerting isn't it?

[Chris Shaw]

Sadly you are right. We can be tracked in so many different ways. Our privacy has been invaded and the internet and other technology has made the whole situation far worse. A bit scary isn’t it? Enjoyed the read. First of yours I believe. Thank you.

[Mystical Ink]

Thank you for reading, Chris.

Privacy no more. Nothing can be hidden behind the door. They can see you through your smart T.V. They can listen through your phone.
The eye in the sky is getting bigger.

[Mystical Ink]

Some people will think that we are delusional when it's really obvious. This is a fact.

[Sami Khalil]

I agree..........

[Kelly Scheppers]

Our every day existence is being scrutinized as we speak. It's enough to make you not want to get out of bed every morning! Much enjoyed your offering. Best wishes and many blessings to you!

[Mystical Ink]

Thank you, Kelly. More blessings to you too!

The saddest part you are right. No secrets, no-more.
"You can't elude them
They know what you hide
This is the end game
There's nothing you can hide"
You can put my name into google and they show my house. Sort of scary. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

That's just one of the things, imagine what else they can do. I'm pleased that I'm able to share awareness through my poem. Thank you for reading, my friend Cayote.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome dear poet.

[John the Baptist]

I believe you're describing the IRS.

[Ballpark Frank]

I get this. We can't hide. We can't be anonymous. It's scary.

[Mystical Ink]

Scary, indeed.

[Relic]

This becoming more and more true. If they don't know everything about you now, they will. Even the TV is watching.

[Mystical Ink]

It is very alarming. Stay woke, my friend.

we seem to be once again living in the book, 1984 by Orwell...big brother is watching.
