Steve Jobs Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Steve Jobs



Mesmerized by his own
success

A tiger lay stalking
inside

An eighth world wonder
built deeply in sand

His achievements cried for him
as he lied

The one link he had
to a legacy born

Asked for only one thing
as he spurned

The one thing he remained
unwilling to give

As the fear of his mortality
—returned

I also wrote two poems about Steve Jobs, 'The Adopted Son', and ' A Tour of my Bookcase'. Steve fascinates me also. I saw a few DVDs about him. The Apple computers could be, to me, ' an eighth world wonder'. Steve worked much too hard and the hours were much too long for a man to cope with. A most stimulating poem to me.
