Parsed Bits and Bytes

I.
Parsed bits and bytes, photos, graphics,
Good News and new geographics.
Flipped, fired the lights;
Praised God with loud, loving mafficks.
Pursued, climbed heights,
And followed fringe demographics -
Parsed bits and bytes.

II.
Parsed bits and bytes reached an army.
A fellow; trained Hindu swami,
Pushed peace, free writes,
Great schools, safe homes, papa, mommy,
And worker’s rights.
“More bandwidth wire, broadband” texts he - 
Parsed bits and bytes.

III.
Parsed bits and bytes worship freedom,
Served Christ our King pure and winsome.
More towered sites;
Our powered posts: ancient wisdom.
Four bar strength; nights;
To spread the Word, build the Kingdom - 
Parsed bits and bytes.

- Gary Edward Geraci

  1. My muse is American poet, Mr. Paul Laurence Dunbar and his poem “Beyond the Years.” The way the refrain is positioned it looks to me like the form Mr. Dunbar used was a 21 line variant of the rondeau.
