Protecting One's Interest
One can sense
When another is about
Lurking, ogling, eyeing
Trying to pry
You feel a presence
There is no doubt
The person who’s lurking
Is trying to spy
Quickly then
Change the screen
Don’t let them see
What’s going on
Don’t worry now
You’re not being mean
You have to keep private
Your personal fun
It’s not intention
You do not wish to lie
You need to protect
Those, for whom you care
So, if they get close
Change the screen, deny
What you were doing
You might need to swear
