A Poem a Day (751): Information technology

I wrote this poem on October 9, 2020 – an old one and I thought it was published on here, but I can't find it, so... about revenge porn.

Information technology
 
The guy isn’t going to hit pause
while he hides his face away,
 
shoots daggers from off-stage,
reads stories to the crowd,
 
rewords history in his way,
adjusts the TV to his visor,
 
listens, takes, reveals and scores.
A patchwork quilt of your life.
 
You’re the “bitch” in his eyes,
so you’ve gotta keep on paying.
 
Your data is his to pass on
with no recoil to the injury.

Revenge Porn is the sharing of explicit or sexual images or videos without the consent of the person in the image. This crime has become more common since 2015. It can affect men and women, and even children. Anyone aged under 16 is still a child.
