Peddling Personal Particulars

Obsession with higher returns on investment Crushes man, separating a person from personal data Collected through stealth, subterfuge hidden in a vestment Free services claim to account holders flatter. Pecuniary motives peddle personal information Concealed ruse gathers and bothers to assemble For sale with neither owners’ consent nor participation In how, what and which corporations information reassemble. Personal information belongs not to information thieves Who usurp personal details using terms and conditions Which grant no legal right to knaves and knives That manipulate and misappropriate data in misguided missions. The global village vies to regulate Behemoths that threaten freedoms in a cartel kingdom That shuns integrity, expecting data owners to capitulate In the face of trade carried out in a thoughtless thiefdom.
