Unseen By Radar
Stay who you are and you will be,
Unseen...
By radar.
Sought out to snoop and scoop up,
Every move to make up news.
About what is done that is not you.
People who charade and pretend,
Defend...
What they do to want believed true.
Stay who you are and you will be,
Unseen...
By radar.
Those who live to hide their secrets.
Are often spied upon.
And deny what's going on.
Even though this will prolong,
Those out seeking something wrong.
Yet others who live to care less,
Address their dirt done to confess.
With times and dates to document.
Leaving nothing out of view.
Exposing everything that is true.
And...
Confusing snooping sneakers peeping too!
'Where is that dirt we wanted sought?'
'It was given and delivered.'
'By who?'
'The one under surveillance.
And brought all of it to us!
'That's just too honest.
Nobody lives today to be that honest.'
'Then what should we do?'
'For whatever is the motive,
To provoke us to keep focused.
With a making us the fools to hope...
One who lives and gives their dirt,
Is wanting more to make us jerks.
So we will expose their dirt's worth?
What purpose will that serve?'
'Fame and possible fortune!'
'For who?'
'The one who lives,
Giving up their dirt to give.
And hoping people like us will choose,
To expose them for being honest.
Naked. Bare and down to the bone too.
Now...
Who else these days will do that?
And...
Waiting to be paid,
For their efforts to endeavor!'
'Hmmm...
That's clever.
Something's up.
What kind of mind are we dealing with?'
'Clever or not.
This genius knows,
Much more than we do...
About business.
And how to do it to get it done.
Under the noses of busy bodies!'
'To what length,
Will someone like this go...
To prove they are not stupid?'
'Patience to keep it,
And kept tolerance to have.
Are gifts few are given...
To await for the right time,
When they are ripe and ready to unwrap!
