Does it feel
Like you’re getting
Smaller, smaller every day?
More oppression, more surveillance
All you do is pay and pay
Politics
Is taking over
Governments are staking claims
More control their only answer
As they carry out the aims
Of the rich
Who thirst more power
Absolute, to rule us all
We as workers here to serve them
To their will must bend and crawl
Money they
Will ban forever
Digital your wealth is theirs
They are rubbing hands and watching
Regulating your affairs
Beware of
Globalization
Save your culture and protect
Freedom that should be one’s birthright
Live in mutual respect
Synergy
The only answer
Borders there should never be
But then all must live as equals
Not commanded by decree.

Surveillance whether we like it or not is here to stay. I do not think that it is to protect us. I think it is to watch us all until they come out with martial law. Then they will know exactly where we are when they come to haul us all to concentration camps. Sickening, but it is the state of affairs at this point in time.
Thanks for your comment. Yes, it does all seem menacing. Trying to spread awareness is about all one can do, apart from using one’s vote and badgering one’s political representatives. On the positive side, more and more people are becoming aware of the true situation, which might still turn the tide before things really get out of hand.
