For I dip't into the future,
Far as human eye could see,
Saw a vision of the world,
And all the wonders that would be.

Saw the Math of retro-Time,
Dismiss one hundred years,
Saw the Millenium Equation*,
Validate our fears.

Saw computers out to pasture,
Saw people take their place,
Saw pencils put to paper,
To save the human race.

Saw people selling digits,
Two digits for a buck,
On every street corner,
A CEO ... out of luck.
