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.
