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.

I wait
For this endless play to cease.
Each day a monotonous
Dull and dreary grey.

I wait
For the chance to finally rest
The battle over
The war lost.

I wait
For that which my fate decrees,
From ashes to ashes
And dust to dust.

I wait
And watch as life slowly rolls on by.
Patience finally learnt,
A lesson of a lifetime.
For I have pushed and shoved
And surged my way to the top.
Above me have fallen
Below me trampled into the dirt
Never once did I ask the price I’d have to pay.

Now I pay and pay and pay,
A lifetime of accumulated debt.
Lonely, friendless I sit atop my castle
And wait.
