Binary Dirge

Zeroes and ones, zeroes and ones.
We’ve only just started; we’re already done.
When was the last time we melded as one?
What does it matter? We’ve only begun.

Zeroes and ones, zeroes and ones.
A handful of months, but our song has been sung.
When was the last time you stood in the sun?
What does it matter? It can’t be as fun.

Zeroes and ones, zeroes and ones.
The weight of the world; I’ve shouldered my ton.
Technoperfection? It’s already won.
Nothing else matters, just zeroes and ones.

Zeroes and ones, zeroes and ones.
Zeroes and ones. Zeroes and ones!
Why keep on trying? I know I’m outdone!
By your army of tireless zeroes and ones,

Zeroes and ones, zeroes and ones,
Zeroes and ones, zeroes and ones!
Why keep on fighting? No Hollywood gun
Has enough bullets to murder what’s none!

The fruit of your labours, I cannot outrun!
No woman, no leisure, could e’er be as fun
As your zeroes and ones, zeroes and ones.
Your thousands of legions of zeroes and ones!

All love and all reason,
All Luddite passion,
All feeling, all mission,
All life and decision,
All hope! All provision!
Sweet Eros’ incision
Succumbs to the might of your zeroes and ones!
