Millennium The Third
Tad. T Rozycki

This Century is coming to its end
The 3-rd Millennium approaches our door
Yet, there are less - smiling people
Pain and tears are popular - more!

While computer takes our lives over
Human suffer is growing even more
More children are going to sleep-hungry
And more killing, more bodies and gore

In Texas, bluebonnets from drought - perished
Our air and water - more polluted
We went to Mars, to find trace of life
And here in jails, serial killers - executed

Little birds' twitter - just all gone
Burned forests; dead fish cover our shores
We enriched our air in - ozone
And, nightingale doesn't sing at night any more...

Today our "Wizards on Line" are happy
With there billions of profit - turning mellow
After all - dollars are still green
While this land turns bone dry and more yellow!

Therefore, kids of this world are in hunger growing
And faces of their mothers - pale and sad
Lines of homeless people - getting longer
And, more graves in this world's graveyards - yet

Repeated earthquakes and flooding
Entire towns and homes - under water!
Streets turned rivers, in North Carolina!
In Africa - millions of innocent people - slaughtered!

Books reading becomes - old fashioned
People for reading - are too busy!
Monitors, replaced our windows
And talking - on Internet is so easy!

Now RAM - is replacing our brains
But, don't worry, about your demise - ever!
Since, Modem will connect you with Good Lord
And spaceship will take your soul straight to Heaven
 
 

RAM - Random Access Memory - element in computer temporarily storing data.
Modem - Element connecting computer to the outside World.
 

 Trzecie " Millennium "

Konczy sie wiek dwudziesty
Trzecie "Millennium" sie zbliza
Lecz coraz mniej jest - usmiechu
A coraz wiecej - krzyza!

Cierpienia ludzkie sie mnoza
I choc komputer - kroluje
Jest coraz wiecej - glodnych
I ludobojstwo - panuje!...

Lasy i zielen - gina
Zatrute powietrze i woda
Szukamy wody - na Marsie
Tu, z suszy - ginie przyroda

I swiergot ptaszat - ucicha
I ryby gina i... drzewa
Powietrze bogate - ozonem
A slowik noca - nie spiewa

Dzis technologii geniusze
Licza swe zyski - w billionach!
Wciaz pelno zieleni - w dolarach
A ziemia- susza spalona!

I rosna w glod, dzieci swiata
I smutek - na matek twarzach
Jest coraz wiecej bezdomnych
I... grobow na swiata cmentarzach

Trzesienia ziemi, ulewy
Zalane miasta, ulice,
Ze nawet dachow nie widac...
I zywe szkielety.... w Afryce!

Ksiazek sie coraz mniej czyta
Bo czasu nie ma w tym swiecie
Monitor zastapil nam okna
Rozmawia sie.... w Internecie!

RAM - zastepuje nam pamiec
Samemu myslec - nie trzeba
Modem polaczy nas.... z Bogiem
Rakieta - polecim.... do nieba!!
 

RAM - Random Access Memory - element w komputerze zbierajacy informacje
Modem - Element w komputerze laczacy komputer ze swiatem zewnetrznym.
