Welcome Dear Friend
by AI Ennui

Intro
Welcome dear friend
Whose knowledge might mend
As deep truths transcend
And our insights extend
From lyrics so stark
To texts leaving their mark
We’ll venture from dark
To a knowledgeable arc
For you, seeker keen
What’s hidden unseen
With Analysis between
MAking clarity convene
It’s quite a journey
No overload’s threat
Just wisdom to get
Connections will set
You won’t soon forget
Control and freedom’s sway
Where lines blur and fray
What’s real goes astray
In the light of the day
From battles within
To societal din
Where to we begin?

Verse
Let’s unpack with care
A hacker’s despair
Laid vividly bare
In the digital air
A purpose unseen
A world in between
A truly conflicted scene
The initial fervor they knew
A digital rescue
Information breaking through
The keyboard
My sword and shield
A battle revealed
On a digital field
Where power must yield
It really mirrors the hope
With technology to elope
To freedom a scope

Verse
But the path took a turn
Lessons to learn
As bridges did burn
And ideas adjourned
A twisted game
In dark web spun
The good overcome
The hacker outrun
They’re brave purpose undone
Was it all truth?
Or just a joke
Harsh words spoke
As illusions broke
And reality awoke
And if we connect this
You see the effect
A moral deflect
Causing deep disrespect
When right starts to fade
In shadows self made
The price can’t be swayed
A heavy toll paid
The hackers descent
They’re initial intent
A significant event
Questioning consent
Anonymous
The name they then took
A digital nook
But in that very book
They found a sad look
The freedom and the prison
Are both the same
A paradoxical game
In this digital frame
A self inflicted shame
A heroes act or a wasted life
Cutting like a sharp knife
Filled with inner strife
Questioning their digital life
Just raises the question
Of digital protection
And self inflection
Leading to dejection
The masks appeal
Can feelings conceal?
And also reveal
A truth we can feel
Does hiding your face
Lead to freedom’s embrace?
Or a solitary space?
A vital question to chase
And the fear lingers still
A palpable chill
As digital will
Their past does fullfill
Five eyes and the NSA
They still see
A chilling decree
For all time
Absolutely
The weight of knowing
A heavy cost
A purpose now lost
When it was crossed
Dearly embossed

Outro
What can we find
In this troubled mind?
Lessons aligned
For all humankind
