Ode to a Computer What way do you lead? Will man be better or not? Do the children learn? Remember Sci-Fi, Robbie, Colossal and Questor. What a picture of tomorrow. Have you seen the blinking lights? Heard the switches clicking? These too are passing in to memory. Lights flash noislessly, More complex more to understand Science moves forward, dragging man And we go, willingly, to what end? Some say distruction, others immoratility Who can tell, but God, and he is not scientific Poor man, has lost so much to gain so much The computer, is to save the world, isn't it? I don't condem it, I work on one. Will the time come when computers rule? I pray not, so organized, and rigid I am a free sprit and I must be free Mankind is not that helpless to allow We will use the computer to make a better world Forward, ever forward we move.
