Back then, technology was a mountain,
and the young boy thought he could climb it.
And he wanted to.
Back then, his brain was sharp,
and his brainstorms awesome.
And he had ideas.
Back then, the Internet was unheard of,
and games beckoned to be created.
And longing peaked.
Then forces beyond his control arose
and turned his brave new world upside down.
And still he tried.
Then the “how” kept changing, and growing ever harder,
and his ideas were not enough.
And still he tried.
So now, his brain is dull,
and his brainstorms are played out.
And he’s out of steam.
So now his ideas are gone,
and his hopes are faded and dark.
And he’s giving up.
So now, technology is a mountain,
but the old man knows he cannot climb it.
And he doesn’t want to.
He sits with a phone that’s a computer,
and a camera, and a DVR, and a PDA.
And he tries to make a call.
The microwaves have cooked his brain,
and he cannot work the thing.
And still he tries.
A young boy tries to help him, saying,
“Here, let me show you.”
But the cancer is too far spread.
The young boy sees technology as a mountain,
and he knows he can climb it.
And he wants to.
You can tell his brain is sharp,
and his brainstorms awesome.
And he has ideas.
