Surveillance Capitalism
The algorithms are at work today
Gathering information of what you do or say
Google and Facebook work away
Gathering data about you in every way
If you jay walk or use your phone in the car
A photo of you will be taken from afar
And before you go home tonight
A fine will be emailed to you when the match is right
So Alexia at home will talk to you
Putting on your lights and music too
And she will know you like no other
More about you than your own mother
And think about Orwell’s 1984 novel
Has come with Artificial Intelligence gavel
When a government through the information gathering
May consider re-education centres for mind altering.
