Monopolies Manifest Malaise

Monopolies, duopolies and oligopolies spell danger Collecting scraps of personal data, averting due tax Mingling with and tingling a ribald ranger Displacing, misplacing and suppressing the affable axe. Monopolies in information technology cyberspace Slay democracy, lay foundations for autocracy Manipulating and circulating data in stealth space Pandering to and engendering artificial aristocracy. Monopolies obsessed with data consolidation For trade with bundles and blades of profits On the back of tax evasion pursued with premeditation Incinerate and vitiate users and account holders’ benefits. Monopolies drunk with megatons of megalomania Kill and spill incentives to build a fairer platform Bereft of insignias of data kleptomania Bent and meant to degrade and invade users data tome.
