Free For the Asking

So the headlines are out,  
For the circle jerks now,  
As they struggle  
To dethrone the famous,  
And the T.V. remote,  
Changes channels again,  
To the Klingons,  
That circle Uranus,  
And the media chases  
The stories of lust,  
Selling papers  
On people of rank,  
As the perverts of profit  
And paparazzi,  
Laugh all the way  
To the bank,  
And so you might ask,  
What is privacy,  
As Orwellian thoughts  
Come to mind,  
And you realise now,  
That there isn't a thing,  
Telephones and computers  
Can't find,  
So the message is clear,  
1984 fear,  
In reality now comes to pass,  
And we all are for sale,  
Through electronic mail,  
A progressive pain in the ass,  
So it's free for the asking,  
In this privacy sale,  
A list, as long as your arm,  
And God only knows,  
And I'm sure time will tell,  
The final extent of the harm.
