Proud Hands

Are you not
proud of yourself?
When you like, dislike, unlike,
tweet, retweet, untweet,
post, unpost, repost,
block, unblock,
tag, untag,
a big brother
is watching you
through the
PRISM of promised freedom.

Are you not proud
of yourself?
Any word, thought, feeling,
emotion goes first
into a word processor.
Then into a
STATE processor.
Where words are measured,
butchered and sold
back
to you.
The price being freedom.
