OPEN FILE

 

Hey kids

Tik-Tok, that's the clock ticking --

The clock that controls your fate

And all the other apps

That are so convenient, fun, easy and cheap

And collect all your data

All your searches . . .

Hear?  Twenty-somethings

Hear?  All you students and teachers

Hear?  All you businessmen and politicians

Hear?  Cop and doctor --

All your data, your signature

Your accounts, all liquid information

Able to be used against you

Against your family, business or country --

         Then installed as data points for A.I.!

         These background actions

         Fortell the future very accurately --

         All folded into a malevolent dictator

         Who works for the Communist Party

         And wields power maliciously

Imagine all the job applicants

Imagine all the job holders seeking to advance

But background checks

Into all their searches, and other data

Reveal improprieties. --

But all the real crooks and criminals

Hide all communication and identities

Through various encryption systems

While the naïve law-abiders

Stumble into total transparency

As if they were simply an open file
