PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE

At seventeen years old, I have become obsolete.
My value programs are not compatible
with newer versions of humanity.
My social software needs an upgrade.
I don't have enough memory
to load this operating system

My hardware is not efficient.
My visual aesthetics are
less than pleasing.
I have unusual accessories.
My motherboard just doesn't know
what do to with me.

My central processing unit is slow
and constantly malfunctions.
The random access of my memories
is delayed by the lack of
sufficient empty space
in this crowded hard drive

There's never many
windows on this screen.
My make is outdated.
I am lagging.
I must be reprogrammed
if I am ever to meet
the basic system requirements.
