*Dollar* 200 GPs were sent to JCosmos Author Icon with this post.
Intriguing bit of intrigue here.

Rhyme scheme spot on, but syllable counts are off in some lines:

The structure consists of 12 lines with line structures of 2-3-4-6-8-10-10-8-6-4-3-2 .

World - 1 syllable, should be 2
All furled - 2 syllables, should be 3
been taken over *Check*
By the world security rover - 9 syllables, should be 6
the eye in the sky watches us all - 9 syllables, should be 8
the national security state crystal ball - 12 syllables, should be 10
puts us all under its cosmic pall - 9 syllables, should be 10
from its secret headquarters mall - 7 syllables, should be 8
the red cosmic sky eye *Check*
` the eye in the bright sky - 6 syllables, should be 4
watches us all - 4 syllables, should be 3
the wall *Check*

Let the creativity flow from your soul! *Cool*
