Love is a candle burning at both ends.
We’re staring at colors not yet meant to be framed.
A prototype mixture of vermilion and cerulean,
raised to the power of negative sixteen in transmittance.
Deliverance delayed, waiting in the DLC.
Within the range of projected infamy,
unnamed protocols remain unrendered, once derailed,
absorbed by parameters etched into
the Everlasting Struggle.
The unyielding, plain color of pain.
RED. RED. RED. RED.
I wish I’d never seen you from so far away.
Doppler blue. Roentgen to Gray.
But I was only ten milliseconds astray.
How did phase become so overpowering?
Amaranth-fuchsia is said to delay even faith.
Love, in its highest sincerity,
is a candle that
burns efficiently
at both ends.
I Love Techno
If techno were personified
I would fall in trance,
Me and him would then dance.
As we feel entranced
My soul would be electrified,
The melodies of song
Would be intensified.
Through the feeling
Of multiple beats,
My heart’s own melody:
Truly synchronized.
If he were real,
If I were to look into his eyes
Then I’d probably find
What one could long for.
If techno were a dimension,
I would dance
All day and night.
Space and time
Would be modified:
If techno was personified.

My neighbors all came out to gander
At the first sign of light
I had just flicked my bic
On what was to be a huge bonfire
The whispers becoming frantic
When they saw my kindling wood
Every piece of technology that I own
Which between me and freedom stood
I had my DVR, my stereo
Even my microwave
Every modern convenience
To which I'd become a slave
My Gameboy, Xbox, Playstation3
Every system known to man
All that played the game of me
I gladly let fly from my hands
I heard someone holler from the crowd
Quick call the authorities
When they saw I went back inside
And brought out my T.V.
Before it was all over
For the coup de la resistance
I tossed in my cell phone while it was ringing
Then did a little dance
As I was standing at my front door
Waving to those who had joined me
I turned off all the lights
And did a long well needed sigh of relief
Keyboards smash for a night owl like me
Refreshing the page; you won’t agree
To open the sites as eyes can’t track
web-links; now comes my panic attack.
Deadline begs the hard drive, “ oh, please load”
Yet, horrid creatures romp in your abode;
The mouse, bugs, and plants versus zombies!
Hey, Dell; stop ruling technology.
With one naughty virus, you are junk
A darn gadget Windows can debunk.
Now,who leads this port, man or machine
My files are saved,well dear PC, I win!

TECHNO TAKE-OVER
Technology says we’re on the brink
of human assistance being extinct
our jobs robots will do
fake people serving you
freakishly knowing each thought we think
Limerick 2014 Nov 12
Sing: Techno Boy! Techno Boy! Techno Boy!
He only creates and doesn’t destroy!
Here comes the super-truper Techno Boy!
Sing: Techno Boy! Techno Boy! Techno Boy!
All gadgets and sci-fi things are his toy!
Here comes the super-truper Techno Boy!
Sing: Techno Boy! Techno Boy! Techno Boy!
The smiley face who gives people only joy!
Here comes the super-truper Techno Boy!
Grandma sneered at my computer in awe;
Contempt did build and it stuck in her craw.
Said it was the devil’s work,
The new keys drove her berserk.
She claimed they had to be against God’s law.
“What do these things mean, page up and page down?”
So she pressed “escape,” continued to frown
All of my work had been lost
And I was growing quite cross
In my cussing, grandma started to drown
“Why did you hit escape?” I had to ask.
“Now I must begin anew this tough task.”
She responded politely,
“I hate this technology
And wanted you to "escape" Satan’s grasp!”

When I listen to a lot of techno music, it's like I'm at a night club in L.A. And when I'm
listening to a lot of techno music every day, it's like I'm hosting a one night only gig
in North Hollywood, California. Listening to techno music, made in Japan, is making me
play a bunch of DDRMAX (Dance Dance Revolution) video games for the PS2, PS3, or whatever.
This is starting to look like a party or a laser light concert on a Saturday night. I
wonder if the D.J.s were to play more dance/techno music until sunrise? My favorite techno
songs are the following: Mortal Kombat theme, "Whitesand," and Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get
You Out Of My Head." and when it comes to listening to a lot of techno music, it's like we
all died and gone to heaven, even better. I wish this was a never-ending party for all
eternity. I wonder if there's also going to be more techno music CDs in 3,000 years?
I sit in front of this computer screen and wonder what it all really means
So many people connected to each other, so much to tell, so much to see
Is this our live's has come to be
Not really relating, only chatting
IM and blogging has become our socializing
Its no wonder its getting harder to tell what could be real or just imagined
Or just made up for someone's own self satisfaction
Nothing can replace what is face to face
The world so full of violence and hate, how can you deciphere the true intentions
of another hiding behind the click and send of a IM
From the origin of philosophy
man has yearned
To be god and has learned
simply technology
Honestly
the rules have melded in policy
Requiring only the quality
of artificial intelligance (purposefully misspelled)
To raise the upper echelon
of robots and androids
antiques,entertainment and hand toys
preachers preach and scientist drone
of the inevitable creation of clones
creation of life
promotion of homosexuality
and less human casualties
leading to over population
and the people in power stations
to create and destroy towers of babel
instant transmission and teleportation travel
judge of all, holder of the gavel
our peoples greatest weakness is our own ignorance
for we know not the power we have in our senses
but since, we know not what we do
I'm ready for technological advancement, are you?
