Let me be myself….
From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).
The last such message was: ‘Good Morning Message #164‘.
Good morning Friends,
Each one of us is born an individual who’s unique,
Yet, no one respects a person’s individuality anymore;
On Internet, for example, you’re tracked till you shriek,
For everything you do, they give you options to explore.
One-size-fits-all is the new catchphrase,
Intervention into privacy is a huge malaise.
Let alone your preferences, selections and choices,
They can now even track and predict your thought;
There is uproar around you, there are many voices,
You are always hassled, always made to be distraught.
Even for a minute they don’t leave you alone,
Your private life is almost becoming unknown.
With all suggestions and cues, constant do that and this,
You respond almost like puppets in a show;
There is no way these unwanted guests you van dismiss,
They are there with you wherever you go.
All that they want is your money and time,
Nothing works with them, no reason or rhyme.
‘Let me be by myself‘ sounds like a weak protest,
But, I can visualise it growing into a strong clamour;
By this invasion of privacy people are getting stressed,
It is almost like being constantly under a hammer.
The courts are directing to cut out, eg, invasive noise,
But, vested interests want to have their old evil ways;
Hasn’t one a right to privacy in his own house that he enjoys,
Or speakers, Internet and other means should ruin his days?
….I respect your privacy, please respect mine.
