Hello, my name's Charlene.
I'm the former leader
Of the papers you've seen.
But my reign is over,
For the people opined
I get out of your mind.
The secrets of people.
Details about their lives.
The decree is simple:
Whatever pulls and drives
Their society, shall
Be kept secret. Hidden.
Don't repeat what you see
Beyond this point. Don't keep
Your memory of me.
Forget about papers
Where little people live.
I stepped down to be safer,
Be able to relive
What it's like to walks streets
As anybody else.
