Poems for Privacy

April happens to be National Poetry Month, as well as what will likely be the most intense period of Real ID conversation. One key issue that pops up when discussing Real ID is privacy... and so, what better than to combine that with poetry for a little fun with a purpose? Right -- nothing could be better, other than chocolate.

And so, I toss out the first Poem for Privacy and encourage you all to join in.


IDENTITY THEFT
by GKP

Across the whole spectrum there’s no one who’s for it:
The Left and the Right and the Center abhor it.
Dislike’s not enough, though – we need stronger laws
That offer protection without giant flaws,
Since, info, we know, always wants to be free…
And safeguards are needed so you can’t be me.

Surveillance and cameras abound,
With mics to pic up every sound.
It's panopticonic
To track every mouse click.
Can privacy no longer be found?

The Real ID Lullaby

Lay your head against me here
along the crook where it’s secure.
You’re safe with me. I will envelope you
in my arms, defend you from
the faceless hordes who threaten harm.
Rest now. Fall into me. Quietly.

No, don’t question. Lean back.
Let me take responsibility.
You mustn’t fret for my motive’s pure -
to protect us from our differences.
Why should you disagree with me? Male female,
we need to share identity.

Don’t say yes and don’t say no
because you can’t protest when you acquiesce.
Comply. I’ve gathered you for your own
damned good. So shut up now. Stay still.
You’ve got it right. Black White Hispanic,
I won’t let go and never will.

Stupid child, how you worry,
so full of fear, anxiety.
How you need me. I promise you
your precious privacy, that I’ll never crush
your individuality
unless you balk - then you’ll see.

My friends all told me that the best way to spend rohan online gold is a good way. But I could not like spending my own rohan online crone. rohan crone has many ways for us to use. When you start the Rohan Online game, your character will be level 1. I remembered that when I started playing this Rohan game with some little cheap rohan money. If you do not like upgrading level step by step, you can cost rohan gold to help your character to reach level high.
Due to make cheap rf gold the intense gravity on their home planet, the Bellato are the smallest people. rf gold which in RF Online Game is very popular for many players. Play this online game the premise that we have more enough rf online gold first. They are able to combine creative tools and weapons with some rf money and the Light form of universal magic. Under such sustained attacks they fell from power, yet they have bided their rf cp and time.
