We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Traditions

Traditions

Wandering free
Within their tiny compound
Tortured by horizons
Limited within their mind
Every action magnified
Praised, adored
What price freedom
In this foreign place

Copulation begets fame
Publicity
Adds to the coffers
Loyalty misplaced

Matriarchal hierarchy
Presides
Publicly learning
The old traditions
Wandering miles
Albeit in circles

A miniscule universe
Dependent
Centuries tradition denied
Imitating life
For public acclaim

Naively he entertains
Each stumble
Receives applause
Laughter
And disdain

His grandmother observes
Silent
Pensively remembering
Wondering
At his futile attempts
To replicate his past

Each generation
Following
The age-old tradition
Or what is the point
Of even
Existing
