His ears are ever vigilant be careful of what you do say <br />Big Brother he is listening from you he's never far away <br />Your words he may put a slant on and one word in the wrong place <br />Could see you in deep trouble the court you might have to face. <br /> <br />The Government allows free speech free to a point maybe <br />But when mere words can land you in trouble that does not seem free to me <br />And big brother is listening and he hears what he wants to hear <br />The best way of freedom curtailment is the weapon known as fear <br /> <br />And big brother he takes note every time you speak your mind <br />And if he sees something he does not like in trouble yourself you will find <br />He is the Government watchdog your words can see you in jail <br />Big brother is always watching you he even checks your mail. <br /> <br />Big brother he is listening even when your friends you phone <br />And even those who live on their own in truth are not alone <br />For big brother is with them though him they cannot see <br />He remains as invisible and few as treacherous as he.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/big-brother-he-is-listening/
