Technology's a blessed curse

That wrinkles our collective forehead.

When it is good, it's very very good.

And when it's bad, it's horrid.


Garbage in and garbage out,

Each day's a new adventure,

Luddites laugh and mock our pain

As we approach dementure.


Is there a demon in the works?

Or just random confusion?

Are we the authors of this mess?

Or is that just delusion?


My brow is wrinkled, hair is white,

I don't know what to do.

I look like I am ninety-six,

I'm only thirty-two!


They say in ancient times, before

The cyberscourge blighted the land

Folks scribbled notes with magic sticks

And talked while walking hand in hand.


Will sanity return, or will

All human beings digitize?

My e-mail summons, I must go.

No time to ponder or surmise.
