The Leak




Ancient Greeks said that Aristotle's Paradox was indeed a leak from Plato's theory of 

Universal Form

Despite the fact Aristotle's toga revealed a few drops here and there 

It was all he could bear 

Since the median path to Virtue 

Included insufficiency and mastery


Centuries of calculating the speed of the outer and inner circle in motion

A doughnut or a bagel perpetually rolling

Until it splashed into a sea of coffee and became a lifesaver


From the Antarctic to Mozambique 

Humans leak, drip, sputter

Vastly classified secrets 

From murder to espionage to gossip

Impossible to be covered up by leakproof diapers carrying manly names such as

Confidence, Faith, or Certainty

(Whereas Niagara, Yosemite, Congo, Euphrates or Mississippi would 

Better fit into the Aristotelian dialectic) 

"A few leaks is virtuous still, eternum."


When Lisa Nowak drove 900 miles to attack Coleen Shipman

The former astronaut donned such leakproof diapers

Labeled "Challenger"

She succeeded in pepper-spraying her rival lover

Only her career from then on spiralled 

And all her achievements spilled down the drain.


We love leaks, whether romantique or politique

They often reveal a doublespeak

Classified intel is hoarded by a former President 

Like a child hoarding its favourite toys


"Hey boys, this Intel gotta spice Zombies in Kentucky"

Said the former 21 year old Massachusetts Airmen known as "Texkilledyou" 

His Thug Shaker Central gaming group of teenagers were impressed with the novel expansion 


This group of teens splished in a puddle of secrete documents and 

Innocuously sploshed the intel around the globe

Damaging military and state strategic planning to many


And yet must we not consider the Airmen is virtuous because he is no spy

Nor did he seek financial gains

Nothing as serious as Watergate, Irangate, and Partygate

Just a bunch of virtual Zombies running around Kentucky that could never be killed

Hey, Aristotle, has anyone got a diaper?

Digital Nursury Rhyme

For the want of a battery

A remote control was lost

For the want of an ipencil

An iPad was lost

For the want of an USB shtick

A computer was lost

For the want of an Austin Martin

A driver was lost

For the want of a Dictator

A Democracy was lost

And all for the want of 

A microchip factory.
