The Way It Wasn’t Meant To Be

What’s going on in Washington
And roundabout the nation is
That everybody’s snooped upon
As doing what must be amiss.

Their institutional abuse
Of power has become such that
By any means they come to use
They spy on all that we look at.

That’s made groups like the IRS
An arm of the Big Government
That’s eyeing us to second guess
Whatever might be our intent.

Hence, twisting it against you so
You’ll dare not say it anymore
Without somebody “in the know”
Who sees you prosecuted for:

Their eyes are everywhere behind
A mirror (even walls have ears)
For everything they have in mind
Under suspicion now appears.

While no one wants to talk about
Whatever they may want to say,
For someone wants to twist it out
Of shape (to seem another way)

Than it is meant, so they will snoop
Around what’s antithetical;
To nothing then they will not stoop
And claim that it’s heretical,

In order that they might correct,
According to the way they see,
For, everyone’s become suspect
Until they’re proven not to be.
