Downloaded To Expose Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Since the invention of the computer,
And internet...
People are discovering more truths,
To them revealed.
Than gossip heard,
From whispered mouths to get.
And the ones who belief they knew,
Someone else to know...
Are finding once they've 'Googled',
Through information to download...
Even their past relationships,
They had dismissed as worthless.
Were with others they now regret,
Had been more productive than those
Wasting time spreading lies.
And embellished innuendos.

Since the invention of the computer,
And internet...
People have become more reluctant,
To pass their quick judgements.
Or find it that easy to be deceived,
By so called 'friends'...
Business associates and nosy bodies,
Doing their best to represent...
Themselves,
As having no other agenda...
Hidden to hide up their sleeves.
Since today...
Anything wanted to know to reveal,
No longer kept to keep concealed...
In seconds can be exposed.
And with it done,
To have one's mouth closed.
Or...
Wide open.
And that depends on the content,
Downloaded to expose.

'Ssss. Oh, God! Yes. YES! '

-Honey?
What are you doing?
And at this hour?
Every night you complain.
About not getting enough sleep.
What are you doing?
Homework...again? -

'Yes. Oh yes.
I'm...I'm...whew.
Just about finished.'

-Well...
Keep the noise down.
I've never heard anyone more excited,
About doing their homework than you.-
