What we truly are.

In the manner of Hugo

From the sacred shadow of private life, 
A shield rises that none can break, 
He protects our most intimate secrets, 
And allows us to live without fear or dread.

Like a stone rampart standing upright, 
He repels prying eyes, 
And gives us the freedom to be, 
What we truly are.
Thus, the protection of privacy, 

Is a sacred right 
that we must preserve, 
Because without her, we are only shadows, 
Wandering aimlessly and worthlessly.
