�Internet Campfire�

As we pass important points in history there is a time to look back. The massive "of the moment" connection that the web brings amplifies our nature and offers a fresh look at what it was.

 

“Internet Campfire”

By Blind Pathos

 

The world peeks at one another

Reaches out or maybe not

To a stranger or a brother

What is get and what is got

In our virtual melting pots

 

Everything is something like it

In all the places we’ve been

Across the fire we all sit

On the other side of a screen

Where we can’t be seen

 

Calling soft, cry or shout

There’s darkness out there

While the world is all about

In the cyber night beware

If it’s your soul you share

 

Once upon a time ago

We called from tenements

To bricks and windows

To ourselves in lost lament

 As early proto blogs went

 

With a voice in the night

Drawing flies and crowds

The world just out of sight

Gave the night its lowly vows

“Really” laughing out loud

 

Author's Note

Let us speak of what will be worth mention in 300 years or forgotten this week. But, do it sincerely and kindly for this speaks to the nature of a man.

Reviews

[Tai Chi Italy]

A highly contemporary poem looking at what makes us who we are in the twentyfirst century. Yes the net has us tight and teaches us well, but it will strangle us if we struggle too hard! Hope to read more of you once again. Smiling at you, Tai

[Dark Daughters]

Another thought provoking piece, this was a wonderful poem gleaming on history.
