Snap, another database!

Track, monitor and log
Social network and blog
All the world’s problems
Can be solved with a database


Is a monitored society
A haven of propriety?
Perhaps, all the world’s problems
Can be solved with a database


So they log who one talks to
And they log what one may do
Because, all the world’s problems
Can be solved with a database


So maybe the digital world
Is more virtual prison, less world
But then, all the world’s problems
Will be solved with a database

(Or so they blissfully think)!


Read the Joseph Rowntree Report on the Database State (2009) which delves into Britain's Database State and concludes that, "the public are neither served nor protected by the increasingly complex and intrusive holdings of personal information invading every aspect of our lives."
