#66: A Thousand Eyes mean a Million are Watching

They’re always watching
Down on the ground
Up in the skies
Thousands of cameras
Millions of eyes
They see me
But they do not know me
They track my movement
But know not of my dreams
I’m only a number to them
I’m more than a number


  
We are living in the age of Panopticism. The world is watching you, judging you, and calculating what you represent to society. Whether it be your credit history, your internet browser history, or your work productivity, society values quantifiable data more then ever before. But what of things that are immeasurable? What of your dreams? What of your internal longings and desires? The world observes you, but it does not know you.
