The New Media Poem

By "CodeMaster" Bill Cole

It didn't come in an instant, like a thunderstorm crash,
It grew under our feet like a warm summer's grass.

It started in the brain of one Sir Berners-Lee
And it grew and it grew ex-po-nen-tial-ly.

Outa sight, Outa mind lest you look, lest you hear,
We were all too busy to notice it appear.

Now it's 20 feet tall, but we hang on to the past,
Instead of learning new ways that will build business fast.

Some of us think of IT but only as a toy,
When it's a new business tool that we all should employ.

Email, web sites and blogs, just to name a few,
It's BIG opportunity - what will you do?

Old media is withering like rotten fruit on the vine,
While Biznik, Facebook and Twitter are doing just fine.

A World Wide Web of opportunities await,
Will you "wake up!" and "grab hold!" before it's too late?

Now I've said my piece, and it's all up to you,
