Open Source Haiku

Created by Susan Miltenberger (Maryland Institute College of Art) on February 17, 2007

It suddenly seems
that open source just might be
a new flavor of homegrown.

It makes me shudder
to see us unwittingly
walk down the same path --

just on the cheap thrill
of doing all that we please
with tools that fit us

perfectly, like gloves
until we realize that
custom breeds complacency

Is my fear misplaced?
Is my concern premature?
Are we going back?
