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

I always say Big Brother is watching, and maybe Big Sister and Big Cousin too, and they do learn our habits. Thus, they know what to sell us in our own self-generated ads. This is remarkably "now".
