by: Allan Cartagenas Life is like a software And your physical body is the hardware Sometimes you're a freeware And sometimes a shareware We may tend to be an open source In which we share the resource Sometimes we tend to be proprietary Thus protecting ourselves from piracy Our lives undergo programming Along the way we do debugging With error detection & correction To avoid run-time corruption Sometimes we are not feeling well Due to some viruses that dwell Sometimes we experience general protection fault And we tend to stop and HALT Our relationship to others is like networking Families, relatives, friends & colleagues interconnecting Pictures, letters & cards we are sharing But most of the times, communicating Lifes' cherished moments must be captured Lifes' frustrations, success & accomplishments should be recorded Unlike a computer that can be rebooted, Life can neither be rebooted nor restarted.
