Look Out
Everything is changing fast
In the space of clicks and likes
Mind control in overdrive
Your hits and views and strikes
Beware of what you put about
Giving far too much for free
They’re cyber tracking all opinions
We are their targets you and me
Tailor making food for thought
Pokes and nudges made to measure
Helping you to see their way
They have the low down on your leisure
Where you are and who you’re with
What is on your selfie plate
Your essentials prone’s and partials
Mesmerised in dreamlike state
Puffing up your self important need
To be something else among the crowd
Chasing fame to leave you stripped and lame
Whilst others watch and laugh out loud
Those clever minded psychopaths
Have a thirst to lay you bare
To steal your wish to feed their dish
And leave you desperate in despair
