You only need to

understand yourself, really --


no one needs to know.

I am an onion,
Layer upon layer there
Is of me,
And none of these
So readily revealed
To casual scrutiny,

Oh  no you must work
And work hard to
Learn each layer,
Reveal every closely guarded
Aspect of my being
Or my soul

But dig hard enough,
Dig deep enough
And with a sharp enough blade,
And with dedication
You may just see
That which I may choose you to
Current money systems usually collect
   Lots of personal information about users
      This information can be vulnerable to hacks
         And also identity theft, control, and censorship
            Many people do not want sensitive personal
               Information and documents stored online
                  Therefore
               Since it’s not criminal to want some privacy
            Let’s use a money system that doesn’t require
         Personal information simply to use money
      And doesn’t require submitting documents
   Which remain on vulnerable databases
We have this money now, in Bitcoin

Long sacred
It now is unguarded
A sacred discarding
With allies now caving
I ask in this world
Is our nation worth saving?

In cities, country-

men speak softly, everywhere --


someone will listen.

My private statements

have been made public, although --


I wasn't under oath.
Omnipresent media, smartphones and surveillance cameras

Automatic face

recognition: wearing masks --


for your privacy.

Collection "Half The Work"
there is beauty in secrecy
not the kind that means to do harm
but the one that leads to privacy
ultimately bringing serenity
but only to the two that are present
a clandestine meeting
intimately shared

reminiscing on that one day
the snow was silently falling
chillingly beautiful
revealing those who came
but hid those who left.
Steve Page Oct 2021
Making sure
she kept to the right
of her best misdemeanors,

Rising slowly,
incrementally above her
sub-basement failures

Looking for all
the world like the world
owed her a life
time of favours

Striding unnoticed
past her past
jailers, her angry slavers

Throwing her chains
into the back of her dark
red Daimler

Passing sixty
screaming for privacy

Dying for worthy.
I think this is about fame - but I'm not sure
