Computerized People

If people could be like computers
We could change our past and future
A button we’d just have to press
To avoid a lot of stress
That comes with life everyday
We could make it go away
By pushing the word delete
Letting our troubles retreat
Giving us loads of protection
From it coming back again
Mistakes no one could ever have
With the helpful button back
One click and it would help us solve
Our problems before they evolve
Into harmful things we’ve done
Always making things go wrong
Our futures something to look toward
If our fingers touch fast forward
Allowing us to look ahead
So there"s nothing we should dread
As we see what is in store
And stop bad things way before
They make our lives to complex
We wouldn’t have to face the test
Of not knowing what we should do
We would have the answers to
Everything we have to learn
On second thought I’ll just return
To all of the uncertainties
And surprises that life brings
So I when I wake up each morning
My life will never be boring

I seen your comment on Mark's poem and had to check out your poem. I was not dissapointed.

I would probably be inclined to hit the "delete" button quite a bit, but then I also try to not have regrets. But for my choices, both positive and negative, I would not be who I am today, and I would not want to be anyone else, except perhaps a billionaire ;)

I loved reading this poem and took great hope and pleasure in its hopeful end. I wish I could find 'undo,' but I'd settle for even 'pause' once in a while. Happy New Year.

I agree with you, Robin. I don't think I want to know my future, either. I would not want to ruin the surprise! This poem is very creative and unique. Really good work!...Thank you very much for the wonderful comments, once again!
