I Haven'T Got a Secret

Hey, snoop-hound, off my grass
  Can't you read 'No Trespass'

Nothing's private anymore
  Not even our thoughts

So alien to how we grew up
  to the ideals we were taught

What once was kept secret is now public knowledge
  Getting more 'likes' than particle colliders or Coleridge

Kim Rodrigues Date: 7/11/2022 2:54:00 PM You’ve got it, Gershon! Love the last line too…or Coleridge…indeed we live in strange times!

So, it's the first step to -- perhaps somewhere, perhaps nowhere. C'est la vie!! Thanks, P!

Michael Tor Date: 7/10/2022 9:33:00 PM So true Gershon, the only privacy we have now is when we shut the bathroom door. Spoke to soon someones knocking on my door to use the bathroom, I take that back 'gershon lol.

Valsa George Date: 7/10/2022 8:41:00 PM I do agree with you Gershon. Now things are no more the same as we have been taught to think and feel....
