Alternative Error messages for the Soul

In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful computer error messages with Haiku poetry messages. As you know, a Haiku has five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third. They are used to communicate a timeless message. Here are some Haiku error messages from Japan:

-===---====---===-

Cannot be located.
Countless more exist.

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

Program aborting.
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.

your expensive computer
