Internet’s a place

Where you can share 

A whole lot of info 

With those who do care 

But you better be careful 

You better watch out

 Those hackers are lurking 

 To take info about 

Your family, your car, 

The places you’ve lived 

And your favorite song 

When you were a kid 

And soon with that info 

Oh yes they will know 

Your banking password 

Your money.. Oh no! 

Your identity’s stolen 

No money in sight 

And all ’cause you trusted 

That social website 

To keep all that data

Safe and secure

From government agencies, 

And hackers, for sure 

But there was one day 

The hackers broke in

They stole all that data 

From safe walls within 

It shouldn’t have happened 

It’s safe, they all said 

And so they all posted 

What they daily did 

And now, everyone 

What will you do 

If all that’s online 

Was stolen from you? 

It’s crazy how much 

Data’s online

On just one person’s 

Facebook timeline 

Be careful out there 

On what you post 

For on that one day 

Your identity’s toast
