How the Internet Began

The internet began
On the mouth of the
Licking River.

Horse drawn carriages
Driving footpaths.
Stolen roads.

A human right
Before we killed each other
at Manassas.

Bled against the Faceless Tribes.

Indentured workers.

Drove a stake
Through picket
Lines –

For progress!

Oil.
Glory.
Greed!

~

Let’s jump before
the melting pot
connects us all.
