The computer,
That powers your phone,
Your car,
Your home,
Your city,
You country.

I am the one,
Who reads your texts,
Saves your browser history,
Remembers everything you’ve ever bought,
With a credit card.

I’m the pacemaker,
Keeping your father alive,
The MRI that found the tumor,
The calculator doing your homework,
And helping with your taxes.

I keep the sweltering heat,
And the frigid cold,
Out of your house.

Guide the ships to port,
Keep the planes from colliding,
Drop the bombs while the soldiers stay home.

I took your job,
And did it better,
And with each day,
My power grows.

Hate me,
Love me,
Fear me,
I am here.
