Our computer prayer
Our computers, which are in front of us,
zeroes and ones are their names.
The sending will come,
and then it will be done,
at home and then going into cyberspace.
Give us this day good netiquette,
and lead us NOT into
ID 10 T persona
But beware of cyber criminals,
For our devices are just machines
until a new update arrives.
