Oh how wonderful a button the delete key can be For in the matter of seconds your heart disappears Down the drain of a computers memory Sometimes an undo command will recover it But most of the time it has been erased from history But the delete key could be improved For fear of a simple deletion Politician would have to tell the truth CEO’s would have to account for themselves Used car dealers would have to be honest Wars would we won and lost on phantom fields With no losses of human live Religions would have to respect each other Lawyers would still be taking you to court Oh well some things never change But then with so much power You would surely become God like Well my delete key just eliminated that And again just deleting words of thought Just when I was beginning to make a difference To see the poems I have just make up, email me to get on a distribution list. If you then request, I will then post that poem where you choose. To get on this list email me at [email protected]. For the best online selection of posted poems go to http://www.authorsden.com/visit/author.asp?AuthorID=5012 . I write so much that I do not want to overburden a site with too many of my writings. Your writing is important as mine so it should also have its space. D.Lester Young (08/10/02) Tuscaloosa, AL Copyright © D.Lester Young (White Eagle poetry) |

Good morning... interesting poem. At first I thought if the delete key were deleted...then we WOULD very carefully weigh our words, for nothing could ever be taken back...perhaps, we would look harder into life sans erasers, magic markers and divorce courts, and our throw-away society would just not be... all for the absence of a delete key. [Do I really want this here?] Unfortunately, we only think deleting things is easy. Not so. You've got to watch out for those hard drives and landfills...

Delete has too much power, but I often think of the remarkable ability of "send now" for email. You can pour out your heart to someone that may not wish to hear, and before you have time to think it out, hit send. And the rest is history.. Like this lots Sandra |
