Big Brother in the Tower

Camera's on the corner,
camera's on the street.
Camera's on the houses,
camera's when you eat.
Camera's in the shops,
Camera's in the park
Camera's at football,
Even in the dark.
Camera's that watch you
In what ever thing you do.
Camera's that watch me,
Camera's watching you.

This is the age of enlightment,
A black man is in power
But watching over us
Big Brothers in the tower.

..Obama's encouraging example could conjure the power to change the meaning of observation, and could allow a "Care-giver Attitude" to relieve the "Big-brother" fears amplified by The"W" influences...

I hope so Brad. He seems, at this early stage, to be living up to his myth. I hope he continues as he holds so many dreams in his alm.

Age of enlightenment ?

Because a black man is in the white house?

Oh please!

This is all reminding me of the rhetoric when Blair was elected, he too was a good public speaker, everyone was optomistic of change and what happened?

CJ I love you to bits but misplaced hope and more broken dreams are not going to help anybody ~ who ever the front man might be..........

Shatron>>>You miss my point I think. Apparently (sic) Americans do not understand irony. You should. The words are about Britain (Albion) and reflect that even with the messiah in the White House little has changed BUT, and let us be fair to the man, he has only just begun AND, let us also hope he proves to be a better black leader than previous black men have been.

Nothing to do with USA. About us...ME.

PS.
I have to say that I love the idea of you loving me to bits!

Gawd I am a fool!

Have been doing too much heavy reading, worrying and frettin'

And my sense of the ironic is slipping! ~

I am watching and hoping just like everyone else.....i so want to be wrong but I can't help wondering if this is just wall papering over the cracks because perhaps people were waking up...maybe a lull into a false sense of security a false sense of hope.

F~F~S !

When and how did I get to be such a cynical baggage?
