Voice Over Internet Priorities Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Here, through the poet's eye, streams thought beam rare,
A theme dream strings an urgent present prayer -
Readies word play, end-to-end relay,
Preparing rhyme schemes, primes dreams, layer on layer,
Plans now to bridge the gap twixt fiction, fact,
Leaving ethics, principles, intact.
As Internet expands, Change leads the way, -
Yet do not hesitate, - 'just do it', act!
Today tomorrow scans, some who rejoice
Offered an unprecedented choice,
Spurred by innovative interplay,
Will wish they’d harder worked to save free voice.
As online blurs old boundaries today
Youth shows old how to grow, brooks no delay...
