“The Humanitarian Nerd
(Sonnet 1538)

Machines have a tendency of
disconnecting mind from society.
Unless you're driven by a humane dream,
silicon dreams only facilitate inhumanity.

Worse than silicosis is silicon psychosis,
Worse than septicemia es la indiferencia.
Worse than writer's block is fighter's block,
to settle in ice-age is insult of la conciencia.

Before you master raspberry and arduino,
learn to master common everyday humanity.
If you're not burning with the fire to do good,
there's no point to your gray's anatomy.”
