Ode to My Laptop

Lifeless brown box asleep on the floor.

Awakened by a powerful force,

A man cutting into it like a doctor

Performing elegant heart surgery.

Impenetrable tape fought

The sharp blade of the knife.


Torn and shredded the gutted

Box lays on the ground like a deer

Mauled by a pack of wolves.

Hollow, the organs gone.

In the hands of the man lies

The heart, the powerhouse.


The smooth steel casing housing

The hidden evasive evil.

Empowering the master of this

Device, corrupting the user.

Social life, human interaction,

Fresh air, all fading away.

The addiction to the power of

The laptop will destroy you.

Once master, now enslaved.
