Better?

There are many that say
(and I tend to agree)
that free software is the best there could be.

But please don’t mistake
using software that’s free
as a right to superiority.

There are many that go
from day to day living
and don’t give a thought to what they are using.

Are they worse for this?
Are you better for caring?
Sometimes the truth can be quite baring.

That not every human
in present circumstance
is able or willing to take a chance.

‘Cause that’s what it is,
taking a chance and going
into the unknown with fear, and knowing

that what you might find,
may not truly be better.

But instead simply different;
and still made by a stranger.
