Google Won't Forget This

People throughout history have tried to leave their mark,

Hoping we'll name streets for them, or schools...  Perhaps a park.

Something that survives us after we are in our grave,

Yet we all  have made some marks that we don't want to save.

It might be a drunken photo or a careless tweet;

Information you don't want to share with folks you meet.

Something you don't talk about with people from your church...

Things that they can learn about you with a Google Search.

In the state of Denmark though, if you did something rotten,

European Union passed the Right to be Forgotten.

You can have those links removed - you only have to ask.

Google says complying is a monumental task.

If you're an American you do not have this right

So, if you're debating if it is or isn't bright

To do something that you'll later wish you could forget,

Just remember - what you do stays on the internet.

With Sincerest Apologies to the NSA

When you check the internet it's also checking you.

Amazon believes they can predict what you will do.

They know what you're thinking long before you've had the thought

So they're shipping items that you haven't even bought.

OnStar knows where you have been; predicts where you might go.

Facebook sends your status out to everyone you know.

On a daily basis, credit information's hacked;

Every single movement on the internet gets tracked.

There is almost nothing that a Google search can't find.

We give so much information out it blows my mind.

People at the NSA must look at this in awe,

Knowing - if they tried it - it would be against the law.
