the data harvesters crawl the web but they catch and farm their prey in their pit traps

but the pit traps can only hold so many

they’ve almost ensnared the world, unless…

…a new elaborate ruse, they reinvent the past once more

a little leeway, you can run your own pits, fashion them a little

but you’re still harvested all the same

it’s a slight hint on the horizon, so they would have you think

but they are not the weather, nor the sun

they’re another feeble structure that will collapse

however…we determine how long they stand

we serve as their bedrock or their shifting sand

may we be as sand that slips from their designs

and remembers how to form our own minds
