MAGNAVOX SURVEILLANCE

         

I know    

I tell you this instant

I am under surveillance  

my life is being recorded indefinite

every movement

private or ordinary

including this moment

every event

big or insignificant

without my consent

there is no instant

when i am alone

only deep thoughts I no longer own

I am sure

I feel their stare

Every hour they dare

can't you hear

the transmissions and communication

that high supersonic pollution

sending a command to their camera the observer

sometimes it’s fear and sometimes it’s somewhere further

can't you hear them, their inside the interior

I cannot explain

tell you when it came

how I missed them inside

you now they always hide

what is sharp and clear

the camera they put in here

right there in the Magnavox television

an ordinary TV became their mission

of course it still works with normal precision

no matter the action I take

it is now an unbreakable state

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

don’t look at me in that STUPID way

you can’t conceive why

I won't just leave and be free

as much as I hate the show they see

I would rearrange the furniture down to the mantel

spin the wheel

change the channel

the front door is not possible

the problems that it will intele

outside, your crazy it's just short of suicidal

don’t you understand they are watching ever

each and every intention

the choice of direction

to plan and abandon

a walk out the door would terrorize

seen by all the eyes

the eyes in the sky

   you can't deny the satellites

catching everything like it's their right

dictating my escape day and night

a camera pointed directly at My front door

don't get me started on the store’s

once the night is in its darkest hour

I pack to leave regardless their power

I picture the walk out no longer the coward

that is what all the plans are for

I must make it out all my thought’s implore

I extend my hand and keep my eyes on the floor

holding the knob I begin the chore

then

as if it were a signal

yes!! a secret signal

something Tucked deep inside to conceal

a dangerous secret

like the man in the shadows wearing the blackest hat

he conceals all the private things from my closet

the phone rings before I even see the welcome mat

on a stunned level

It's always the same devil

I am obliged to acknowledge the scoundrel

we are immersed in his timing

an old move that is still so very cunning

a silence oh so staggering

fear disorienting

they are listening

pick up the phone

ignoring the radio source  

a land line of course

never touch a cellular they are the worst

the G P S will never let you go

cashiers at all the supermarkets will have a window

strange ladies at the grocer

are calling me by the name only I know

frozen with fear

the Receiver is on my ear

there is no one there

it's always the same dreaded silence

the attempt to scare me in alliance

they listening for every performance

I know

it's them again

in here and on the other end

I am telling you I know and it's evident

they are recording my every movement

I am under surveillance

  I know

this is very cool & creative and i truly enjoyed it. we live in the technology age and 'big brother' is watching'. there is a price to be paid for everything. they don't call it "the b**b tube" for nothing. our culture tries to control us. you have a great satirical commentary here. it really is just like a drug - most people can''t go without it now, like coffee. we think we're doing the watching but they're watching us & turning us into drones. great job! :)

It reads as if I was watching a live realty show. Amazingly written. This is thrilling and mysterious to read. Technology is slowly acquiring our privacy.
These lines just left me speechless in a positive way...
You can't deny the satellites
Catching everything like it's their right
Dominating the outside day and night
Pointed directly at My hidden front door
keep sharing

reminded me of the old zenith t v my mom and dad had,when you turned it off a black spot in the middle would follow you from left to right,i always thought it was watching us,,hell maybe it was
