operation black sight

Your evil twin is back

 

for another surreptitious

attack on my fragile

uncracked mind;

 

It's a silent invasion,

 

though I can see he's been

skulking--treading through

inside his same old tracks...

 

Tell him--if you care for your kin--

 

that this time, I wait

with gripped fingers--determined

for his brain, behind eyes, encased--

 

to pull the plug from his circuit box

and lay him lifeless along with

his future plans, forever awaste.

Alright. Maybe I should explain something before the men in white coats show up at my door with a stretcher...

Some years ago, I spent more time than I care to tell picking apart the Windows OS, finding security holes. Out of curiosity, I read white papers and just about anything on the internet I could find about computer security and ended up, eventually, going back to school to get a Computer Science degree.

Anyway, in case you haven't guessed thus far, this is supposed to be about any of the myriad ways your privacy can be invaded via this complicated little piece of machinery, and how it can feel about as dirty as having your home pilfered by a stranger.

Maybe I should stop there before I begin to air anymore of my delightful fantasies about how best to put a snoop out of commission...

Thanks to each of you for braving a comment. I had a little fun writing this and hope it was a little fun to read.

Hi elP, real menace here, with revenge hanging heavy in the air....I really like 'pull the plug from his circuit box' -
could be the fate of a dalek (cue David...exterminate!).

This is the shadow that dogs us and sometimes reigns supreme. It needs letting into the light and vaporising!

A poem can help !
