Modern life vexes repeats cycles of frustration
ten times ten billion bytes meant to inflict madness.
The rabid among us completely gave in
when denied the small things
we have been taught we cannot live without.
Such dependency fosters desperation and rage
the system is the ultimate withholding father.
We seek His approval in compliance with the appliance
follow His directions in twelve major languages.
Or we rebel join the tribe of Bad Sons
turn out the lights and light a fire.
We cannot see in the dark but we know what’s there.
The sun brings daylight to restore our courage
and brace us for the loss of comfort.
