Eye on You

An eye-opener about the world we live in.

If you feel alone,
You're mistaken, don't you see?
From a distance, they watch,
Knowing what entices thee.

Your footprints, they track,
Nothing you can erase,
Everything you discard,
Has not spared their gaze.

You believed them to be kind, 

Yet they cloak themselves in deceit,

 Gripping the world's reins,

 Disguised as friends so sweet.

You can't elude them
They know what you hide
This is the end game
There's nothing you can hide

First read of yours..
I understand your feelings, but we just need to be careful what we do or say.
Just something I noticed.
In your 1st Verse 4th line I think you meant allures ...not allure.
and in your 3rd verse 2nd line I think you meant fiends not fiend.
Also, I really think this could be a much stronger poem if you added punctuation.
I say all this because I do like your thoughts...
When I review I like to be honest,

Everybody knows everything about you and there is nowhere to hide it seems. If I just mention something to a colleague about coffee, the next thing I know there are ads for coffee on my phone. It is very hard to know who to trust and who to not trust anymore. Nicely done.

The ads creeps me out. I just got used to it.

Sounds a bit paranoid to me. But of course, it's true. Except, in this day and age, you shouldn't say what you don't want the world to know. A secret is safe between two people only if one of them dies. My mother used to say, "Keep yourself to yourself." Some people have just never learned that bit of wisdom. I enjoyed the read.

Well said. Thank you for your insight.
