A random rant/poem

Delete

To remove. To banish.
To make non-existent.
This is the cruelty of delete.
To take away possibility.
Would you delete a mistake?
A falsehood? A cult?
Would you delete a child?
A challenge? A belief?
What gives you the right?
You sit at your keyboard of life,
Idle and bored.
Then you see the delete button,
And decide to delete some more.
Its arbitrary. Its fast.
Its meaningless.
Is it?
We’ve tried to delete too many times.
Anti-semetism. Red Fear.
Counter-culture and the year 1820.
Rebellion and Revolution are always the victims of delete.
Troubled kid? Give him meds.
Troubled country? Send in the Marines.
Troubled economy? Free checks for everyone!
Delete destroys,
Even when it fails.
That, is the cruelty of delete.
