SYSTEM DEFIANT
K.R.BALAKRISHNAN
I bemoan my own poverty
Of ignorance
On intricate internet matters.
Today when I asked it
To go to the hell
It went into the heaven.
When I clicked on the mouse
To take something forward
It guided it backward
Oh ! Unskilled fingers .
So I folded my own body into four
To become a computer frame
And put some thorns around
But alas! It could not hold anything in.
I bemoan my own poverty
Of ignorance
On intricate internet matters ;
Oh ! I am flabbergasted.
This system is like my child.
Realising my poverty
I opted to be a poet.
