LOOKING FOR GOOGLE

LOOKING FOR GOOGLE

Driverless cars

Headless chickens

Oops! mind that blind…

Oh, what the Dickens!

The lingua franca

In Google we trust,

In God if we must.

Look, no hands!

It’s not a boast

It’s a statement of fact,

I don’t drive, it’s all an act.

The phone on my table

Speaks in eighteen different languages if tasked

And can answer questions

(Sometimes before they are asked).

Now they have sent ten thousand

Helium balloons into the stratosphere

Seeking all the disconnected;

Wi-Fi for all – and soon

They could – in theory – I guess

Set up shop nowadays on the moon

This is their ‘toothbrush’ test;

“Focus on the user and all else follows”

Culture and success go hand in  hand;

If you don’t believe your own slogan

You’re already in no-mans land.

GOD IS NOT A GOOD TRAVELLER

GOD IS NOT A GOOD TRAVELLER

God is not a good traveler

He has not been to Kinshasa

As far as I know

Nor has he been to Sierra Leone

As I am sure he would crow.

He has never been to Aleppo

Buachi, Zaria  or Es Sider either

Perhaps he should takes Kipling’s advice;

‘The first condition of understanding

A foreign country is to smell it’
