Drones are hard workers; used to be
Think of hives and busy bee
Then the word took on new meaning:
To drone – a boring way of speaking.
But words evolve, new thoughts accrue
Now drones take flight and spy on you!
No longer seen as just a toy,
They buzz round airports* and annoy!
Surveillance takes on a new guise;
Remote-controlled, its roving eyes
Can capture everything we do
No longer safe. what can we do?
Though progress has its strong plus side
Not all is rosy; it can hide
A dark intrusive motivation,
So, I observe, with trepidation …
