Today's word is "dox" ... doks ... Slang. to publish the private personal information of (another person) or reveal the identity of (an online poster) without the consent of that individual: The professor was dosed by a bitter student who failed her class. (Dictionary.com)
Net
This strange world of bits and bytes,
Is getting us in trouble,
This new world which we can't see,
Makes our troubles, double.
A nasty word on Facebook,
Sets someone's life on fire,
Another's doxed for something small,
Brought on by revenging ire.
But on the other, brighter side,
So too does happiness go 'round,
And good wishes, love and prayers,
Announced by tiny pinging sounds.
