[Intro]
This is a tribute Aaron Swartz, I'm just showing my respect
So let's have a short moment to reflect
[Verse]
Was it cybercrime or fighting for rights?
I admit it's a fine line, so might I present this:
A track record you might find distinguished
The highlights of which are quite trying to list
This bright mind extinguished
Died trying to bring this Brave New World to life
CYBER-GENESIS
Computer-literate, like-minded linguist
The lines in his script are my kind of English
And hindsight provides quite the image
Of an activist
Hacktivist
Dying like he lived
In the firing line of online rights traditionalists
Politicists
Quick to stick his digits on the hit list
A lifetime in prison can drive minds to sickness
So why am I surprised he did this?
Fighting insurmountable odds, handed down from the gods
Because David is a risk when Goliath runs a business
