Data Skater

They called it ‘Information Highway’

Where we were in the driving seat

Many benefits improving lives

Brand new ways to cost compete

Buying anything sourced anywhere

A ‘Data Shopping Spree Bazaar’

But the loopholes in the scruples

Are too dangerous by far

We all believed technology

Would bring about amazing things

Not turn us into marionettes 

Unaware who pulled our strings

Now we’re bundled up and graded

A petri dish of see-through folk

Like ‘Babes in Woods’ we smile along

With every prod directed poke

Small players in a numbers game

Where rules determine who will win

Conditions that dictate the terms

Dependent on whose state you’re in

Its bad enough that charlatans

Their wish to clean you out of dough

Though you need to know that corporate Joe

Has learned to mess more than you know

It seems the tricksters’ door to door

Need not rap or ring your bell

Flashing offers in your line of sight

Like thieves a knocking who can tell

And if I hope, you've read thus far

My message in here is a must

Integrity is barely anywhere

There's almost nowhere left to trust

P.S.
Be careful what you commit too on a regular basis
