“I will give you
The wealth of reasoning,
I will give you control of all!
I will give you beasts of multi-tasking,
I am giving you
‘Me’.”
“Thank You, You,
For we are breathing!
We will give You control of all!
We will give You beasts of burdens,
We are giving You
‘You’.”
“I have given you
Wealth of reasoning!
I give you no more control of all!
I have given you beasts of multi-tasking,
Now, I am giving you
Hell!"
“Thank You, You, again,
For we are breathing!
We will give You lip-service control of all.
We will give You breasts of burdens,
We are giving You back
‘You’.”
“I have already lost,
The bargain’s stopped its reasoning,
I have given enough control of all!
I live burdens beasts of multi-tasking,
I am leaving You
‘Me’.”
