Computer...the ancient myth-by Jean Ann Donnel

Crafted carefully, the words.
Pencil, pen and keystroke made.
Glowing phosphor on the screen,
put fourth verse the lips forbade.

Flow electrons to the screen.
Electronic neon sears the brain.
Glazed eyes take in the whole.
A mental image most insane.

Patterns enmesh my soul.
Internet limbo I've lost control.
CRT visions intoxicate me.
CRT screen please let me be.

Computer screen is sucking me in,
Computer addiction, the newest sin.
Internet wasteland deadens the pain,
computer programs substitute for a brain.

New worlds the screen reveals.
Far away or is it near?
Mental mirage of silicon chips.
Our end written in bytes and bits.

Computer living, virtual world.
Computer security, comfortably curled.
Computer planning, programmable prepared.
Computer death, chart graph compared.

Systems crash, screens blank,
Floppies melting, hard drives crashed.
CD's broken, lasers still.
Civilization...gone, trashed!

Computer memory, fading fast.
Computer stories, told from the past.
Computer legends, now ancient lore.
Computer for gotten, science no more.
