The Boss is Tracking Carefully

Across the U.S., more employers are handing out activity trackers and rolling out high-tech wellness programs that aim to keep closer tabs on workers’ exercise, sleep and nutrition, and ultimately cut ballooning health-care costs.

The boss is tracking carefully
how much you eat and sleep and pee.
He wants to know how much you drink,
are you too fat, or see a shrink.

He's keeping tabs on your heartbeat,
and if upon your spouse you cheat.
He'll know of your religious views
and where you get your online news.

Recording all your tweets and likes,
he's tracking all your sick day spikes.
An algorithm of his choice
is following your thought and voice.

His files are bulging with reports
about your hobbies and your sports.
He even keeps a detailed chart
of how and when and where you fart.

Anonymous you'll never be
in office, warehouse, factory.
He's got it all on some mainframe --
and yet he can't recall your name.
