Captcha's Cruelty

HELP The CAPTCHA took me by surprise tonight Letters became ghouls in my mind’s eye I listed them— Noted them; words...begging, crying out for me STAY CAPTCHA was merely mocked By millions of viewers on keyboards I imagined all— Tears began to fall LOST How may I help you, CAPTCHA? Are you merely what they say? Is there more— Tell me, I pray AAND You bewilder my senses with your emptiness The computer became my way to you But all I could do— Was imitate CRYY I began to imagine someone stuck in CAPTCHA A place where they harbored the weak They took what they pleased— Allowed them to speak NNOW Today it was happening and evermore There was a reason I came to know And now— I want to know more FOLL I swallowed air and typed in the words Feeling worthless and absurd I began to believe— There was more to this irrational dream XOW3 The screen went black and then I was sure I couldn’t doubt it anymore The CAPTCHA wanted me— The letters suddenly blurred and unseen CAPTCHA CAPTCHA Let them go CAPTCHA CAPTCHA Full of woe CAPTCHA CAPTCHA Take me now CAPTCHA CAPTCHA Tell me how to CAPTCHA CAPTCHA Set them free CAPTCHA CAPTCHA Knowing is free Knowing is free MMEE For years I have copied your codes Knowing you are there Me—it’s me Crying in the dark pit of despair AAND Though empty your words are to me They are all I hear All I fear— In four letters on this electric trap XXBX What am I to do? To follow would weary my soul To save— Would take its toll FREE What is this foreign word my dear? Oh, how can you cut and paste it in my mind so clear? Free—and then? Close your eyes and count to ten The victims of the CAPTCHA remain a mystery to us all Yet still we stare at the codes and merely imitate them We are zombies staring our lives away Trapped in CAPTCHA’s claws Sad, deprived. . .
