Big brother

Life is full of watchers and stalkers and Cambridge analytica
They are in every home
Every street
They follow your every move
They read your messages and watch your searches
They watch you when you think you are alone
They hear you talk to yourself 
They watch you lie and cry
They see it all
They push you into the way they want you to be
They mould you and groom you
They show you articles of hate
They get inside your head 
They push your buttons 
They make relationships blossom 
They pull you apart 
They drag up your memories and rake over scars via apps we have installed giving access to our secrets
They know your favourite clothes and shops and routes to work 
They know when you go out and drink they read those texts you send to your other halves and save the pictures

Big brother is not something we can escape 
It is a game and access we have been set up on
One without levels or ways out
Just winding roads and no lights 
The media creates the problems 
Creates the culture of panic and moral dilemma
It takes away esteem and pushes limits 
Takes lives and innocence 
Puts us all into fearful places 
With no way out 
No small door or open window
Just cctv and app access
Accept this or do not install
Put all of your details everywhere
Email, password, access key
We will store them and create a fingerprint of you forever
And even when you are dead
We will remember and set up social media in loving memory..
