I wrote this for Peter Gabriel inspired by his words in the San Diego concert on the night of October 8, 2012. I never saw personal digital technology as good, until he spoke of using it in terms of uniting hearts and passions to inspire good in our world.
So what will happen?
You will read this and many will go to Witness.org to see what I am talking about.
Half of those people will read through information there.
Half of those people will decide to do something.
Half of those people will make a difference in other lives.
And you will change the world.
The flame is
catching,
Around the world,
Spreading to all
lives,
Seeing through all
eyes,
For in every corner,
Light is captured,
Life is captive,
Upon the screen,
Images of events,
Otherwise unknown,
Racing between souls,
At the speed of
touch,
From screen to
screen,
From message to
message,
Upon the net we live,
Accessible and
accessed,
For the limit of our
knowledge,
Is how much we want,
The limits of our
feeling,
Are how much we need,
Can we feel the child
solider,
Embracing his rifle,
Huddled in the
darkness,
To protect his
people,
Knowing the touch of
death,
Before knowing a woman’s
lips?
Can we feel the
distant farmer,
Knowing his family’s
land,
Generation upon
generation,
Fruitful through hard
work,
Bringing joy unto
children,
Until forced from his
home,
He is brought to
homelessness?
To see his children
on the streets,
Beneath the tears of
his wife,
For these things go
on,
As the evil within
hearts,
Finds freedom unto
action,
Within the darkness
we provide,
Yet through linking
our hearts,
Upon the digital
network,
We weave the net of
love,
Capturing lost souls,
Drying the tears,
Bringing light to darkness,
Through our digital
fire.
