Ghana to Shanghai MAG
March 15, 2018
From Ghana to Shanghai
We watch you every hour.
Sentry’s atop buildings,
Watchers in the trees.
We know more about you
Then you do about yourself.
We watch every pixel intently,
Studying how you take a breath.
We count every beat your heart makes,
And every gallon of sweat that fell.
Measurements have been made,
Kept in the vaults of the mount.
You do not see us the way we see you,
We do not see you at all.
We watch without eyes,
We look without sight.

This is a little poem about security, how it can feel so false and counter-intuitive. Enjoy it, I guess.
