Modern

There's a poem that was written by Emily Dickenson. It's called, "There is no frigate like a book." It is talking about the fact that books can take you places like cars and ships. I want to change it.
Here's how it goes:

There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

There is no rocket like a book
To take us planets away,
Nor any shuttle like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This highway may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the Ferrari
That bears a human soul!

As you can see, my modernized (I actually don't know if there is such a word) version is a more, shall I say up to date "frigate." It makes me think about how much things have changed. I mean, there are so many feats that normal people only dreamed of, that are possible today.

For example, the climbing of mount everest used to be like trying to catch a tiger with your bare hands. Then, for a while, anyone could just take out there wallet, and be taken there with ease. Fine. Not ease, but you get my point, right? Then there's the frontier of space. Who would have thought that we would have landed on the moon and then examined Mars!? We've done an infinite amount of amazing things. I just hope we don't make big mistakes with our big inventions. Maybe we'll even be able to come up with somethin that will rid us of our persistent enemy, the flu. Or even better, a school that was like a private school other than the uniform. More to come, if they don't invent an evil-computer-destroying-monster first. :)
