From the moment of my coming, <br />to the moment that I die, <br />I've been registered and tabulated <br />to make sure I'm not a lie. <br /> <br />I've been fingerprinted, indexed, <br />photographed and even drawn. <br />I've been phoned and faxed and texted <br />from each dusk to early dawn. <br /> <br />I've been circumcised and immunised, <br />vaccinated and explored. <br />I've been biopsied and X-rayed, <br />with blunt needles I've been gored. <br /> <br />My life is full of numbers, <br />birthdays, credit cards and more. <br />There's PINs and codes and passwords, <br />there's a number on my door. <br /> <br />I'm not a person really, <br />just some data on a chip. <br />They've made my life so ordered, <br />I'm a simply written script. <br /> <br />I am a mere statistic, <br />technology has me soiled. <br />I'm black and white - no shades of grey, <br />so very neatly filed!<br /><br />Joe Hughes visit joehughes.org.uk<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/filed/
