Clean Glass, Quiet Lies

Today is Freedom of Information Day – we share information, sometimes a little too freely.

But secrecy is just as harmful.

This Freedom of information Day, may we speak when we shouldn’t be silent.

He cleans the windows, the eyes of rooms,

Glass panes in halls, where shadows loom.

When in one, where all look past,

Forms shift away, hands pressed to glass.

🪟👁️

People walk, on different floors

Turn away from windows and doors

But one man stops, mouth forms a “Pause.”

All others drift, where silence is clause.

🪟👁️

Tussles within, not for me to see,

His eyes meet mine, in desperate plea.

I signal once, I know he calls,

He shakes his head, then comes the fall.

But I move on, and still, I clean

🪟👁️

The mirrors shine, the windows gleam

The movements stop, hands in mid air

Go back in time, and all is fair.
