SPY IN THE SKY
The Watchkeeper
of Salisbury Plain
And they’re selling us
unmanned aircrafts
While they enforce the
grand redundancy
Of Man
Unfeeling machines to
watch over us
Reinforcing separation from
heart and soul
So we continue to mock
and judge
To live in fear, to ‘cock
and pull’
Secure in the illusion
We are safe
We are already safe
Have been safe
Were always safe
In the heart
The heart has no enemy
Only allies
Only comrades
Only family
To love and nurture
To buoy and cajole
To support and encourage
To cry when life sticks a
foot out
To sense and feel
What is appropriate
To know what will shatter
A soul into a million
pieces
And you are broken, once
again
Weakened by the crimes of
man
Convinced you ‘did good’
By taking the life of
another
Deluded and scrambling
You crawl
In the dirt, searching
For the missing parts
But they’re gone now
You are hollow
A spectre in the dark
Searching for the light
Secure in the illusion
You are safe
