Your list poem is modernistic in style and unsettling in its contemporary truth about the secret invasion of every aspect of our lives.
This line in your notes shows what our future is: 'a whole generation of people who don't have souls today, who live for themselves, at everyone else's expense, and that disrespect in today's society is scary too.'

Thanks for the excellent review and your concurence with my rather disturbing theme. The soullessness of people nowadays is really disturbing and scary. Take that guy who shot all those people in Highland Park Ill. estory
Comment from Tina Crute
Amen to the scary. Your form did bounce along to a beat, much like a warning beat, if that makes sense. I can sense the beat getting louder as the list accumulates offenses. Well done and informative!

Comment from LateBloomer
Hi estory, a timely poem. My cousin had her purse stolen when she was out shopping--different than identity theft, but identity theft could have happened because of it. She went home immedaitely to notify credit card companies etc., and thousands of dollars were already charged to her account. She also had to change the locks to her house. Her house keys, cars keys, etc. were all in her purse. For years, before going into a store, I put my cell phone in one pocket, and my car keys in another pockets. I leave my house keys home because I use the garage door opener. The internet is a wonderful invention, but the world is filled with criminals... and yes, we are all being tracked. Cash is King. Well done. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Thanks for the excellent review and your perspective on this disturbing scene. The world is full of people who think nothing of taking advantage of others. The worst is what they do to older people who are the most vulnerable. estory
Comment from BethShelby
Yes, our whole life including the kind of things that interest us and everything else is there for the taking for someone who is a identity thief. There isn't much we can do about unfortunately.

Comment from Theodore McDowell
This is almost a prose poem. A great laundry list of the information that is available on us on the internet. What gets me is when I order something on-line, immediately I start getting advertisements for the product.

Thanks so much for the excellent review and for your perspective on the piece. Yes the way technology and tech companies and hackers compromise our info and take advantage of it and manipulate you is scary. estory
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
You are daggone skippy this poem is scary stuff. It is a well-written free verse poem. However, the font is small. There are numerous senior writers on this site like me. I am sure that more of them would engage with your text if it were a bit larger. It would be good too to have a visual of a computer, I-pad or some other device above your poem. I would also change the pronoun "we" to they. "We" make it sound as if you and the reader may do some of these unscrupulous acts. It's a good poem and warning to be more mindful when using technology.

I've reflected on things like this, I've an attempt to blackmail me on my email, but I ignored it, but it wasn't really bad, but still it had me thinking, but I thought that it could be they didn't know anything, but it was a scam for extorting money, heh heh, beautifully written, and thanks for the warning, well done friend, blessings Roy

Comment from Fleedleflump
You remind me of when I moved house a few years ago - I spent ages worrying about all the places I needed to update my physical address, and it struck me: If I have to change my email address, it's going to be an absolute nightmare - it's everywhere, my ID badge for utilities, memberships and online presences. So yes - our digital presence it more important to modern life than our physical one.
Great poem :-)

Comment from Ulla
So very true what you're saying, estory, and come to think of it, it's a scary world we're living in. I know it's to state the obvious, and you bring it to the fore in this well written poem.
Yet, I still like to think there's some good people out there. Ulla:)))

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Yes, we are being tracked and don't even know it. I am not really worried because I am probably the worlds' most boring person, but still they do it. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed reading.
