TRACKED!

by Bill Kochman

Now once you are in their grid,
It is so very difficult to get out,
Even if you decide to do that,
They know what you're about.

Your life has been infiltrated,
On every device that you use,
How they track all your data,
Can really give you the blues.

From your cell phone to iPad,
Or desktop to MacBook Pro,
They have collected your info,
Oh more than you even know.

From secret apps they install,
To web browser cookies too,
They have a pretty good idea,
Of just about all that you do.

Oh yes they have your profile,
Stored in a hidden database,
From your actions on the web,
To a recent photo of your face.

Now, of course, they'll deny it,
And claim it simply is not true,
But if you had all their power,
You'd be tempted to do it too.

So go ahead & call me crazy,
Say I am paranoid to the max,
But I dare you to try to prove,
These aren't the honest facts.
