ok, this is VERY rough.  it's a first draft, no revisions at all.
so...since it is so choppy and not so good yet, i'll tell you what i'm 
trying to do.  i'm *trying* to capture a bit of man's relationship to 
technoloogy, using christianity as a parallel.  

Blinking lights hypnotize
Mysterious beeps and whirs mesmerize
Communion with a machine
    friend
    mentor
    lifeblood
Our very lives depend on these contraptions

One misplaced disk
Misunderstood command
Accidental kick to the power cord
    Go directly to Jail
    Do not pass Go
    Do not collect $200
We get mad at the tool when it's our fault

And man said,
Let us make computers in our image,
After our likeness.

I know, i know, i know.  A LOT ofwork to be done on this.  I've got a few 
ideas, so maybe you all will get a revised (and improved) version one of 
these days.
