Roy Pett Poet Acrostic

Sign of the Times

Standing still is certainly not an option 
Ignorance of technology expect corruption,
Guarantee your safety, protect your identity 
Never divulge passwords, just think security,

Over decades so many changes, some good
Fascinating inventions saying that we should,

Take responsibility for our actions, be prepared 
Hackers, thieves so intelligent information shared
Encryption of all actions anything online declared,

Transmitting your personal  thoughts, feelings
Inscription on social media could send us reeling 
Misdemeanours unfortunately are a sign of the times
Eliminate risk of heart ache through serious crimes,
Secure information, keep safe, prevent any stealing.
