Techno Lust
Technology's
necessity, without it
we would die, it's
fascinating really
how computers run
our lives,
the tapping of the
keyboard and the
clicking of the
mouse, it's gotten
so that folks don't
even have to leave
the house.
The world's right at
our fingertips and
there's no way
around, the fact that
all you need is just
a debit card
account,
to pay for what you
wish, your items
may get freely
shipped, you may
get really gipped
but I aint really
sayin spit,
I'll change it up a
bit, now ev'rybody
lose your mind, I
don't mean goin
crazy just expand it
and refine,
imagine you're
agoraphobic,
scared to go
outside, computers
then present a
slight resemblance
of a life.
The script rotates
with ease I flip it 45
degrees, you got
the shady ones out
there that steal
identities,
bring fam'lies to
their knees,
absconding quick
with 50 Gs, a scam
that's ran leaves
both the check and
save accounts on E
(mpty).
They're also in the
mobile phones,
there're no more
phones at home, no
cordless in the
kitchen only touch
screen mobile
tones,
that come with
email, news and
weather packaged
up in foam,
remember when we
knew our peoples'
numbers from the
dome?
I stand up self
admittedly
absorbed in techno-
lust, it's fright'ning if
you ponder, it could
all end with a touch,
of just a button,
maybe 2, a maze of
82, Verizon's the
horizon so we're
really praising who?
The media in print
is by the wayside,
take a look, we'll
move a cursor but
won't flip the pages
in a book,
on that aspect I'm
old school up unitl I
d-i-e, you'll always
find a paper or a
hardback right by
me.
The future's in the
hands of those who
strive to make it
more, than being
slaves to
microchips like
Terminator 4,
there will be no
salvation when the
Ipads mess us up,
Steve Jobs (R.I.P.)
is worshipped more
than God, beware of
techno-lust.
