Comfort and Ease for Control S. De Gregorio July 2018
I
Welcome to the Big data free for all
Your liberties are under attach, see how they fall
Millions spent on creative applications
To entice you surrender your personal information
II
Your intimate details in their data files
Millions of faceless people’s profiles
You’re just a number, another data set
Mined and exploited through the internet
III
A permanent record of your spending trends
Will be collected and refined to the bitter end
They know where you are at any given time
It’s not by chance, it’s by their design
IV
The surveillance camera, your safe eye in the sky
Will soon be the tool that forces you to comply
The data they collect every day on TwitterA
Gets packaged and sold to the highest bidder
Chorus
Comfort for control is the choice you make
Giving up your rights for a shitty piece of cake
Meta-data collection is the currency of the day
Disguised so you don’t know your being surveyed
Comfort for control is the choice you make
To limit the data, they strive to take
Click by click collections run at full throttle
There’s no putting this Genie back in the bottle

- Comment from author about the poem: It is amazing how much information people will give in order to download an application or a game on their smart phones. Have you ever read the disclosure agreements that you must accept in order to download?
