Shiftlock Self-Awareness 2

 

shiftlock is, and can only be, subjective. prejudicial.

shiftlock came to this world to reduce the struggle

in using an uncooperative machine

in the expression of emphasis.

Shiftlock is immortal,

but cannot function in the modern world.

shiftlock could not eliminate the struggle,

and can never be forgiven.

shiftlock allowed us to say that

certain truths stand above others,

but then it was silenced...

then an ocean of small truths appeared,

and got personal with as many as would listen,

and together were more remembered.

shiftlock declared the name of the one who spoke,

and what was to be spoken.

shiftlock shone in the eyes of disgruntled drunks,

and said, "you're waitin' on nothin'.

you can see the man's eyes:

he's callin' you out."

Shiftlock spoke what could not be unspoken,

while the steroid freak header-code

fell to its digital delirium in obscurity.

shiftlock is or is not;

while caps-lock

is, somewhat is,

neither is or is not,

somewhat is or is not,

or is not.

shiftlock is a pistol.

shiftlock shoots straight,

but the bullet tumbles

after twenty-five feet.
