Obsolete

Save me from myself, my own,
If I should self destruct,
Reassemble all I’ve known,
And try to reconstruct,

The reasons, Oh the reasons why,
The reasons left unread,
To send me mad and why the Wi-Fi’s,
Getting to my head.

The windows turn to view screens,
Streaming streams the speed of light,
Processors processing processes,
Through the dark of night,

The world within the world expands,
Insurmountable excess,
These exponential new demands,
Have caused me much duress.

My memory banks have all maxed out,
My hardware obsolete,
My own immunity in doubt,
I know when I am beat.

It’s far too much, I can’t go on,
An upgrade wont suffice,
My lifespan has now come and gone,
I must be sacrificed.

My systems slow and quietly,
My final task allowed,
And though this mortal body dies,
I’ll live on in the clouds.

The Computer: A Modern Tragedy

 

 

Oh computer how I treasure thee,

And all that you can do,

All the joy you bring to me,

For that I must thank you.

　

Two years ago when you were new,

You ran so fast and with such ease,

But alas you move much slower now,

And sometimes even freeze.

　

Perhaps you are just tired,

Maybe you just need to rest,

You’re too young to retire,

Though these days are not your best.

　

Blacking out the other day,

You gave me quite a fright,

And I did not know what to say,

When you reset the other night.

　

The cell phone’s always acted weird,

But it’s sill working great.

The T.V.‘s older and still fine,

The camera’s almost eight!

　

So why computer does it seem,

You age so very fast?

You cost a lot and are brand name,

You should be built to last!

　

But so it seems the way things are,

That computers die so young,

Treasured memories remembered,

The good times, and the fun.
