Waiting

By Bradford Middleton

Waiting

A man far greater than me once spoke a
Truth that the pen is far greater than a sword.
I can't remember his name or even
Look it up as damn infernal updates mean I
Can't simply google it using my 21st century brain

I'll state easily it's true especially today
When we are slaves to technology giving us
Wisdom beyond our brains

Waiting
Waiting
Waiting

For the updates to end but today
All I can say is fuck it this pen is better than
All the damn technology Microsoft can muster and
When the ink runs dry I'll pop to Poundland and
Buy a dozen knowing they'll keep me going until
The updates bloody well end.
