THEY’LL NEVER KNOW THE WAY WE FEEL

They’ll never know
the way we feel,

they’ll know our names
and what we earn –
our capital gains –
our tax return,
and what we’re worth –
our height and weight,
our place of birth –
the time and date,
our number flat –
our fixed abode,
our habitat –
our postal code,
our social links –
our network friends,
the way we think –
how much we spend,
our DNA –
the streets we go,
our resume –
the bills we owe,
our hidden scars –
our blood relation,
where we are –
our information,
star sign – if
our passport’s real –
but they’ll never know
the way we feel.
