The Watchers (free verse)

18 5 12
                                    

We watch and we watch

From the very start 

We watch for you

We watch over you

We spare, we care

And we love

Watching you

Dear lost children 

Slouching in mud

Chewing your cud

Drinking the lies

Spitting the truth

So we keep on watching

Watching and watching

As we watched before

From the very start

Don't mind us at all

As if you don't know

As if you don't see

The watchers are there

Keeping your present

Polishing your past

Painting your future

Of possibilities vast

While you're unaware

We spare, and we care

And we love to watch

Every godforsaken botch

So we watch and we watch

From the very start

Until the very end
