Surveillance Capitalism Poem by Paul Warren

Surveillance Capitalism

Rating: 5.0


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.

Your wonderful Poem is premonitory and very scary but true. Orwell and Huxley were right.! We are on the way to becoming Slaves and Robots of the State. A terrible future awaits if we don't fight back! I wonder how these two exceptional Authors, Knew? ? ? Thank you for this great visionary poem, too.

" " Might is right" is being practiced now a days and employing tools like A.I. the rulers belonging to all isms are busy with dehumanizing human beings. Thanks for sharing a profound and bold eye opener.10 points.
