The Red Face of Anger
By Lisa Noe

A computer is much like a human
The comparison is not uncommon
Where the person has a face
The computer has a screen in it's place

What if a computer had real feelings
Anger or love or could wish you blessings
A man’s face turns red when angered on and on
The screen of a computer turns crimson

The hard drive has memories strong and clear
As does the mind of a man, they are so near
A computer races against a clock
A man can forget and be put on the spot.

A computer knows rage
When the screen is ablaze
It freezes in fear
Like a timid little deer.
