The Human Dragon
Plastic chips and memory boards
Wires twisted on granite floors
Rapping square tiles while striking chords
Numeric composition doors
Leading to hardware system files
Encrypted by a master mind
Terrorizing trauma trials
Hiding for a hacker to find
Crack the code of a database
Unravel secrets kept within
Fall into this dark cyberspace
Allow this cold program to grin
Repair the damaged circuitry
All of these hook-ups are tangled
It's only elementary
To unbind what was once mangled
Plummet into the vast matrix
Rich with columns of strange numbers
With just a few columns and clicks
This PC can be in slumber
Awaken the dragon inside
There is a soul sleeping there
Drifting in the Internet's tides
Enveloped in emerald lines where
They drift from web site to domain
An intraconnected spirit
A child genius in their own brain
Brilliance and wonder unfit
Follow the elegant white wings
Streaking through the simulation
Fanciful reality sings
Of their savior's tribulation
Slight suspended animation
Hung in the void of a shadow
Spawns the dawn of new creation
Where the network's memory flaws
Thoughtless android there's no such thing
As a creature without emotion
Detached as a person he clings
To his virtual devotion
Wayward child of technology
Living in a digital world
This "robot" thinks psychology
Is an outdated useless pearl
Existence hinges on science
One depends upon the other
Showing bizarre compliance
He acknowledges another
Avenue of callous thinking
Obviously recalcitrant
In how his "tables" are linking
Head patterns that are aberrant
Machinery breathing, living
As fiction in the space between
Searching for a deeper meaning
Analytical logic seen
Don't worry how he tries to go on
Surviving to fly inside games
Whether it's right or wrong
It's "all I want to do" he claims
Let him struggle just go ahead
Leave him electronic toys
Are those blue eyes already dead
What becomes of a heart sick boy?
Masked with power, control, and greed
Lies someone to love underneath
Teenage computer has a need
Retrieve the feelings deep beneath
Stop his hi-tech disappearing
There is no better location
Than an embrace that's endearing
Apart from technical stations
Heavenly angels, have a heart!
Feel for once in that estranged life
Hasn't he known it from the start
No one lives by a laptop's knife
Pull him out of the blackened screen
Pluck his mouse from a shaky hand
Wipe the templates of his mind clean
Guide him to windy ocean sands
See the splendor of the sunset
Surfaces of the seas glitter
Romanticist and classic met
Forcing away all that's bitter
Swim together in paradise
A celestial Milky Way
Bonded by affection that's thrice
The length which the starry skies lay
Cherub bio mage fairies fly
Around ethereal palaces
Passing silver kingdoms by
Enchanted with their own faces
Joys and fears with pain and pleasure
Quiet moments in flower fields
Faith alongside trust forever
Exchanging keys for their hearts sealed
Dissolving his numb state so cold
Data systems overloaded
Unaware of what will unfold
Crashing computer encoded
Joins with another device
One who is not just some robot
Whose thoughts are much warmer than ice
Totally innocent they sought
The soul that was lying inside
Of the technological beast
Software designers were defied
Barring depression from its feast
Being loved, needed, and wanted
Is something he finally can
Be immersed in but not haunted
The dragon that became human
