Red light cameras

stare at you from on high

looking down menacingly

like hawks about to pounce

their beady eyes watch

your every move

as you sit in line

they systematically record you

if you move too soon

or too late

you are on tape

evil eyes follow you

to make you behave

it's Big Brother in the sky

he who spies can also lie

with the full power of the state

soon cameras will be in your bedroom

let's hope they won't be able to

issue you a ticket

for speeding.
