Revenge


You broke my heart a thousand times
Your time has now come
You work long hours, you are so tired
Not tired enough for me

At a stroke of your keyboard
Millions are transferred
You touch a commission
You are rich of money, but poor in time

For unknown to you, to your computer
I made a few modifications
Each time you press certain keys
Each time you receive radiation

They are the ones which spell
I love you dearest
Death by a thousand key strokes
I can’t imagine better revenge

All your money
Won’t save you!
