Privacy Lost...

Poem Artwork

Glad I am not a celebrity,

Or a prince or president,

Or some sports figure,

None of them have any privacy,

Tis a shame in our technological society…

 

They have to watch what they say,

And watch what they do,

Because camera’s are ALWAYS rolling,

Unfortunately for them there is no for this, consoling…

 

So watch your mouth,

Making no knee-jerk reactions,

For we all at one time or another,

Are under the microscope of public scrutiny,

Even though against technology we would like to commit mutiny…

Very true and it seems to get worse with each passing day, not just for celebrities anymore either. Cameras watching as you drive, walk, dine out, shop, well you know the rest...

Be always safe,
Karen

All eyes are watching everything we do. We are always being watched when out and about. Set a good example and be clean and pure. I know many are people watchers in this world and I like to be one of them when I go out and about too. Good thoughts here too.

This writing certainly covers it well....and thankfully (or not) we don't have to worry with the doggedness of cameras and fans; however...we must always be careful because even the lowest is being covered by someone/something... Freedom is a part of our gifts, and yet...there are times when freedom is lost in spite of it. hugs, lindalaw

Freedom is indeed a precious thing and something celebrities lose. Well penned Ed.
