Big Brother

I see the green grass with autumn leaves

The season of change and naked trees arrives

Again – without thinking we see the continuity

Knowing Christmas is around the corner

The birth New Year starts the cycle

After the death of the old year

And some of our past friends

Whose passing was real

Too real for

Comfort.

How

Do

We

“Know”

What is real

When everything

From movies to magic

Is just imagery of imagination?

The TV a parade of our new enemies.

1984 “Big Brother” is now a reality show

And CNN is our reality of disasters and wars

Until we visit the place and see that we are told

What our “Big Brother” wants us to know.
