Silicon valley to nowhere

No one knows this valley

We pretend

Its just like any other

Its got its streams

Its hills

And its simple communities

Born and bred on the

Westside

Then one day

They drove them orchards down

And paved a road

With silicon…

Some said it was shiny

But most just wondered

“what the hell is silicon?”

Next thing I knew I was chasing things

Like math and science

And the arts

Humanity had no value with the

New

Only silicon

Suddenly everyone spoke a different language

The language of silicon

And we just kept on runnin

Some of us were swimming

Deep

In a blue pool of silicon

To nowhere.
