The Watchers

[The Portrait of Zool]

This is something I recently found which I had posted at the AM board way back in 'the day'.

 

 

Millions of blinking eyes

filling cyberspace

like stars,

the Watchers spy.

 

Always looking, watching,

waiting for the perfect moment

to make their presence known,

through endless hours of fearful sentiment.

 

Oh, they watch it all,

and without a hint of shame,

they point with glee

and think "See!"

When heartfelt Posters

get flamed.

 

They won't make that mistake.

"that could have been me going down,"

they think with a frown

"Losing what the Watchers take."

 

And some do pay heed to the Watchers,

but none more so

than the Watchers themselves,

sitting behind their shadows on high,

watching, watching, watching

all of cyber life go by.
