On All Accounts

One button pressed
To my distress
By wandering eyes
To some impress
The deed that follows
Ever grievous
Thieving matters
Now reveal us

Accounts of person
Wanton peril
Thinking hidden
Inhumed barrel
But eyes deceiving
Follow after
Digging up
Misguided laughter

Is nothing sacred
This machine
Hiding nothing
Most obscene
Is any dollar
Left to prey
Legal tender
Naught to say

How are we helpless
Captive too
On open sea
We never knew
Spies are watching
Now in slew
A fiery wall
That must ensue
