Our technologically advanced
society has no plans
of keeping literature in its true form

Oh, Kindle, you infernal device
you "kindle" only hatred in my mind
I wish I could undo your technology

Why do you feel you have the right
to impose on my eyesight
the imposter of all book-kind?

You represent my discontent
with what this world is coming to

I wish that your inventors had
taken into account people like me
who prefer old fashioned books to technology

The author's comments:
Yes, I know the rhyme pattern is way off (and I should probably fix it) but it was for class and we didn't really have to make one.
