Can You See Where This Is Taking Us?Directron Scholarship 2008 Essay No. 101by April Michelle Wade Currently Enrolled School: Vanderbilt University Intended Major: Russian studies and theology In the year twenty-seventeen The computer will be our queen It's scary how the world turns cold When everyone is using holograms, even the old. Can you see where this is taking us? Where kids don't take the bus They sit at home on their laptop Never with their friends on the black top They never meet their teacher They use emails to reach her Can you see where this is taking us? Men and women in the world never making a fuss About the weight they've gained or the pounds to lose Because thy don't go out for a lunch or take a cruise They sit behind a desk doing everything in a virtual dream They order their food online, even the coffee with cream Can you see where this is taking us? I see in my dreams little kids putting all of their trust In MySpace, LiveJournal, Blogger, and Facebook Spending all of their time online, never picking up a book Texting, yes texting, all of their friends Being illiterate happens to be the new trend Can you see where this is taking us? Now, the Internet, you can find what makes up the earth's crust The educational possibilities of the cyber world is there But would any kid care? Their eyes are glued to that TV screen They live in their own little dream. Can you see where this is taking us? Teens make video games a must They sit there and learn how to rape, maim, and murder. But they said that they would never really hurt her Until crime became the new line In places like Columbine Can you see where this is taking us? Now, what happens when these computers bust? We get shot to the stone age, no warning, no sign We get stuck in a cage that we made overnight Economies crash, governments are overthrown Just because one circuit was blown Can you see where this is taking us? Now when all of these shiny machines rust In the stone age of our creation Will we learn how to rebuild a nation Without the help of CPUs Or will we never learn from our abuse Can you see where this is taking us?
