The Triple Standard
by Rachel Hoyt
image by idea go via freedigitalphotos.net
Don't talk to strangers
or eat their free candy.
The street's full of dangers
that squash fine and dandy.
Know that the government
is always spying,
claims wise discernment,
but could just be lying.
Use your spy tactics
to learn who to trust.
The world's full of antics
and fun that's unjust.
It's the triple standard
hip modern folks hold
to transform substandard
lives into pure gold.

This poem was inspired by an article about trying to "opt out"
and one about the share economy that's growing more stout.
