Tech behemoths diss information,
jerking the info flow available to the public,
controlling the public’s so-called private info,
manipulating the information coming and going
but god dangle
they ain’t controlling my private parts
 
media and tech behemoths foes of info,
info itself a string of natural democratic bits
you get to pick and choose,
some you win, some you lose.
 
Chemical attacks on the lawn ―
in Syria?!
Chemical attacks on the food ―
in Syria?!
Chemical attacks in the shampoo and cleaning products ―
in Syria?!
Chemical attacks on the water ―
in Syria?!
 
Tech behemoths batting their 1950s sci-fi
big bug-heads and eyelashes against porch-lights,
batting on screen-doors
wanting entry to info of:
what you cook,
how you look,
what you book,
where you nook.
 
The info gestapo stopping the info flow
with pointless checkpoints, so
think outside the check-the-box
hidden at the end of the legalese
giving away your name, rank, and cereal number,
god dangle
how they know
i eat non-gmo free-range corn flakes
with grass-fed almond milk
sprinkled with raisins in the sun ―
in Syria?!
