ANONYMOUS

Acrostic poem

ANONYMOUS

Actions good and actions bad
Need no explaining by who I am.
Over my face hangs an opaque mask,
No words from my true lips can be seen pass.
Yonder reaches, out of view, I discreetly operate.
Movements aren’t seen, but bear immense weight.
On sundry lips, no name for me can sit.
Uncredited acts, no person to link.
Shameful deeds are done shamelessly.

It's not about the hacktivist group, if that is what anyone perceives.

Funny you use the word "perceives" because the whole time I couldn't help but to think you describing perception, in a way.

I really like this. And I like how it is ironic and demonstrates the perks of being anonymous and such, of being free in a sense. And I like how I am now thinking about how freedom, perception, and good & bad all mix and loop together.

It leaves me concluding something I read for a video game, something from final fantasy 8 - "There is neither good or bad. There is only perception."

Excellent piece my friend.

Thanks man :) I agree: there is no good and bad, only perceptions. Someone's "bad" may also be someone else's "good". People and their perceptions are very complex indeed.

Personally, I tend to prefer giving gifts anonymously... that's just my preference. However, I insist on taking blame... I am not sure if this is moral or ethical in any way. It is just my mind set.
I also think anonymity never negated shamefulness. Ownership always finds its origin whether it be shame or glory...
The idea of being anonymous is an illusion; like so many other concepts we try to believe.
I enjoyed the poem very much!

Whoa! Truly anonymous! Short and yet vivid description of being unknown. Being unknown is not a bad thing. You can appreciate the strange emotions on it. Truly, I like the usage of words as well as your unique perception towards this. As usual, awesome poem!

Thank you :) and no, anonymity isn't nessesarily bad, as I've expressed here, it can be a useful tool for purposes good... And bad :)

True! It isn't bad at all, however yeah, sometimes it could be. You're very welcome. Thanks a lot for sharing this one! :)
