Digitalized Lives

Facebook, Amazon, Google, and 
Microsoft too, are all out to replace 
you. They get your information and the 
name of your friends. The world 
of big brother is really happening. 

Smartphones and television are all 
listening to your words. Do you know 
what they have already heard? Outdoor 
cameras and fingerprints, eye scans 
for children, woman and man. 

The world is being digitized, and so is the 
the money we used. Identity theft is 
being misused. It's in the papers and in 
the news. 

Your phone rings one day, and they say 
it's you. Now what are you going to say 
and do? Can you prove who you are? 
Have they gone too far? 

You call the bank, and they say you are 
broke. You say, "No, it's got to be a joke." 
And they say, "No." The human race is 
being replaced; other people are walking 
around with your name and information 
in a new place. 

They don't want you to figure this out, 
until you learn how to yell and shout. 
But, believe it or not, this is only just the 
beginning. But the scary thing is really 
the ending.

Well written. Compelling read, good rhymes. I believe it and think we are too far gone. Good to know others feel it too.
