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
