Ctrl-Alt-Del

Self-control is the first lesson of life,
when learning to be presentable.

An alternate lifestyle 
will bring you grief,
but you are no different
in that respect.

All grieve.

Delete everything 
you should not have said
	or done.

There is a scream,
then nobody is there.

The machine shuts down
at the end.
Silence is the last friend.

Only heaven fathoms
	a blank screen.
