Peddling Personal Particulars Poem by John Sensele

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.
