Her Majesty

Directron Scholarship 2008 Essay No. 55

by Justine Bailey
Current School: Junior at UCLA
Current Major
: Political Science with a concentration in International Relations

To Directron.com
I long, simply for the feel of the keys
Under rubber
The feel of the breeze
Under cover
Of the trees
In the Sculpture Garden
Harkin these words
Unconstrained by verse
I nurse the urge to splurge on a Speck
A case to protect
This lifeline of mine
This prized key of my life
It is divine, this time where I rest
In the comfort of knowledge
Learning in college
The tools I need to succeed
To breathe easy
Blog freely
Compare and contrast
Living, loving, I laugh
At the glaring contradiction
Between non-materialism
And addiction To this contraption, My reaction
To this beautiful benign
Magnificent monster of a machine
It seems
My dreams are typed up and amplified
Codified in the Conscious labyrinth of cyber space
I take a break
Sit and ruminate
Meditate on the
Significance of saturation
Pop-up ads and untimely maturation
It creates motivation to change
Rearrange the priorities of now
Teach children somehow
And allow them to use this power for good
Use technology to combat the "hood"
We should, I should
Organize frustration
Into votes
Take note how strong we can be
When we see
It is all so relevant to me
Access is the key
Literacy weds technology
An exquisite, hip relationship
Hope is born
Scorn the naysayers
The typewriters
Praise the hand-jivers
The AIM-aged typers
And harness the keys and the track pads
Facebook and all the fads
In class, the sweet music
Of the click-clack-click-clack
Brings me back
To the reason I am here at UCLA
Seizing the day
Preparing to unleash
This weapon of learning on the world
It will unfurl as
Soft-served gigabytes
Wrapped up in shiny aluminum
Ensuring that everyone
Can look at a screen
And glean unforeseen opportunities
Ignore gibberish against the impetus
To catapult to success
Like Steve Jobs and the rest
In an industry with this potential
It is essential
That the keys keep click-clacking
And the track pads tapping
Our way to international development
Cohesive and unbent
I repent for doubting
Enshrouding MySpace in a veil of tragedy
I submit to Her Majesty
Dressed in the blue print of the future
Young, adventurous and impure
A mixture of affairs
Every inimitable individual's cares
Laid bare
Let us share these designs
Create and define
Underline strategic importance
Of this time
Of this rhyme
Typed up in Word
Spellchecked, to be sure
