Radical Opacity

In our age of universal surveillance
it is wise to be anonymous-fame has been appropriated
by paparazzi and pornographers
Celebritology steals headlines ,self-promotion TV series
blogs and commentators fill hate radio flame throwers
4chan uncensors-engaged users post with wit and passion
All those Wikileaks have their mirror here
Official Secrets both personal and political
Big Brother would like to close down town
but the polis of thought does not wish to be policed
and the growth of free speech costs startups
1984 cedes to techno 2010-youth are wired
(enough to tune in-FACEBOOK opens up
500 million human pages listening
Neda in Iran,IDF blocking Gaza
soon there will be a possibility of free speech
(until giant China censors Tibet
and North Korea sets off another verbal missile)
Civil we are,with tech servants not masters
Why not consider the possibility
of possibilities beyond ours?
