Sextortion. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Increase of cyber Crimes
is exponential all over the map
now-a-days.
Rapscallions use mobile phones
Spy cameras and many other
instruments to become first
friends and then foes.


Chatting in mobiles,
Facebook and Whatsapp
are possible at ease with
click of one's finger.
Sometimes they are beneficial,
sometimes full of danger.

Fake friendship, temporary intimacy,
sensual chats, nude and morphed photograph exchanges,
fabricated stories and enticing
are done by use of gadgets
in presence of internet.
Persons, known or unknown,
can allure and exploit your lust
to victimise you to grab your money,
ask for different types of favours and worsen your fate.

Sextortion is an event possible
if you share your intimate moments with some persons
on the other side
of your device,
recording is done in-camera,
then comes the threatening to black mail you in social media, expose your
privacy to your family and friends and
demand a price,
not acceding, threats to even life,
the police is pell-mell to solve
such crime.

Chanakya, an ancient Indian polymath,
advocated that the
duty of every body is to remain satisfied
with one's spouse, food at home, and
wealth acquired by honest means.
Hence longing for extramarital affairs and amorous intimacy
is devastating and unforeseen.
