Cookies

Tracked as prey in this digital age, Logging on and pounced upon every day, Cookies anointed as algorithmic sage. Tired, exhausted, spending the wage, No where to hide as they all say, Tracked as prey in this digital age. Trapped in this computerized cage, Releasing steam, all the games I play, Cookies anointed as algorithmic sage. An ad here, an ad there: products all the rage, All of our pathways designed in such array, Tracked as prey in this digital age. Wanton appetite of desires assuaged, Presented to all as an endless buffet, Cookies anointed as algorithmic sage. How is it we are all gauged? Sitting upon scales to be weighed, Tracked as prey in this digital age, Cookies anointed as algorithmic sage.

You are right. We have not found a good way to avoid it, Contemporary poem. (At first I thought you were writing about chocolate chip cookies!)

Thank you!! Yes, I figured the title was catchy in that way :) I do love chocolate chip cookies, maybe I start to get ads about them soon :)
