:End of message."

State your name
speak as clearly as you can
you know everything gets reported in;

avert your eyes
just in case they could be watching
with their cameras and satellites.

Turn around
put your hands above your
what they feed straight into your head;

close your eyes
don't look who is watching you
hold your breath, the end is nigh.

"Sir are you now, or have you ever been,
a member of the Communist Party?"

In the shadows
the lines move slowly through the numbered gate
past the mosaics of the Head of State;

In the run down
the people move slowly pass the electric fence
across borders lined by the Department of Defense.

Under tall buildings
see the cracks of architecture slowly peeling
of marble statues made in bronze and concrete;

See the signs
of this closed down church-cum-processing station
under the tyranous eyes of Athiest Saints.

"One loss is a heartache,
a thousand but a number."

I hope they cannot see
what's living inside of me
we will hold you to everything;

I hope they cannot see
what they search for inside of me
Big Brother is watching me.

"Thank you for your cooperation, citizen.

:End of transmission."
