A Poem By Ironman

~~~~~LEGACY~~~~~~

Born in times of stress and rigors

Loaded guns with half pulled triggers

Endless days of fear and sorrow

No hope now, No hope tomorrow

Skin heads hating blacks and jews

Drive by shootings in the news

Kids at war for Red or Blue

Don't blame them, Blame Me, Blame You

Broken home, a dead beat Dad

Porno mags or some new fad

T.V. Violence, Rock-n-Roll

Darkness tugging at your soul

Someones Daughter, Someones Son

Goes to school and brings a gun

No one saw their PAIN, their RAGE

Dead and wounded, makes front page

Babies born then seldom feed

beaten till they end up dead

Violent deaths before age two

Parents claim "We're victims too"

Tough new laws, more prisons built

Fight the war on drugs Full Tilt

All we've gained in years of trying

Countless dead and still more dying

Some say "God hears when we pray"

But kids hear only what we say

It's NOT them, it's me, it's you

They learn by watching "Things We Do"

All our children on their knees

"Help Us, Guide Us, Someone Please"

Don't ignore, Don't blame Don't preach

They CAN learn but we MUST teach

So, No more games, No politics

No smoke, or mirrors, or magic tricks

Stop, and look, It's time we see

And listen to their desperate plea

If we all do one good dead

Find ONE child, and meet one need

Feed them, Teach them, Keep them well

It just might save our souls as well

~~~MY COMPUTER~~~

Saw an Ad in with my mail

"BIG COMPUTER SUPER SALE!"

Special offer "While They last"

Hurry cause they're "Going fast"

Perfect Home and Office Tool

Man they played me for a fool

It's a must for games-n-work

Now I feel like Such a Jerk

Endless stream of 1's and 0's

Whats it up to? No one knows

I'm NOT talking screws and nuts

This thing really "HATES MY GUTS"

"File Not Found" it's there I bet

Some where on the internet

Screens flash by to fast to see

Who did that? It wasn't me

Can't keep up, I know, I've tried

It can find us when we hide

You can run but won't get far

<whispers>" found a chip in my new car"

Plans to end the human race

Leaving them to take our place

In It's "soft, green, evil glow"

All my thoughts it seems to know

I'm to scared to go to bed

and must wear foil upon my head

Does it work? Who knows? How well?

Against true EVIL Spawned in Hell

So, as you play or while we chat

Get some foil and make your hat

If we try, I think we can

Stop their Wicked Evil plan
