Dune not be bashful, grumpy, leery     or any other contemporary dwarf man even countless less well known dwarves     (that never got a chance     to play a bit part) such as wham

bam
thank you ma'am 
linkedin with emergence     of Internet and poetry slam
opportunities availed by Uncle Sam

which characters (albeit fiction) 
   nonetheless, helped spawn a quiet yet free 
   global, radically riotous,     totally tubular transformation 
   affecting a societal and human specie 
but not credited contributing     to paradigm seismic shift that garnered tree
mend us plenti fully birthed,     impacted and transformed how wii

(more particularly many gifted minds)     bridged geographical distance 
(encompassing all four corners     of the Earth) to enhance

what came to be called the world wide web,     digital strong armed lance
information super high,  "Cyber Revolution",     etc allowing  one to prance

and essentially transcend reality to brook    commanding, commingling, communicating, hook
   line and sinker, et cetera     with an excellent access and out look
reaching the most distant cranny and nook.

This (bit a bing chitty bang)     manifestation toward 
exponentially faster processing capacities 
   more powerful than pen or sword
(based on principles of Moore’s Law), reward
electronically solidifying     binary unification swiftly tail lord   engenders greater dependence and reliance     figuratively shrinking the drinking gourd
allowing far flung aliens, family,     friends, et cetera to ford

great distances via sophisticated electronics     courtesy of super smart mother board
enabling ever more complex     electronic contrivances 
   the generic Homo Sapien gibbon could afford.  
Analogous to Medieval Age this quiet pussy riot creation     vis a vis Internet did un cage

marked by Computer/Digital Age odyssey),
   especially sharing pixillated page at light speed, where the ordinary individual 
   could keep in contact ) 
   albeit with every now and again     a bit torrent rage

and in some instances tapping     smarts of a preschooler considered a sage
which kindergarten lad/lass     commandeered a handsome wage   whereat the parental figure did cajole, wheedle or beg their wealthy progeny promising     son/ daughter of a healthy nest egg stored money in Swiss bank accounts or hollow leg perhaps christened jpeg
or if an avid weekly reader of Moby Dick Queequeg   who felt incorporeal storied power     of Herman Melville as zen unseen aid 
instructing hypothetic rich kid to drop out of school     before his/her first grade coz of all the money he/she made   which affected modus operandi rendered obsolete 
   child worker laws     and no sweat of brow getting paid
people used bitcoin (or other online currency) 
   additionally making purchases 
   with scant keystrokes to complete a trade.

As with any major dramatically novel scheme  light bulb idea scribbled on napkin 
   scrap of paper     via cheesy or whipped cream
originating as a flash in the pan     aha eureka moment, or dream   as rough blue print subsequently     underwent beta testing, 
   before declaring pc innovation supreme 
whereby outstanding persons in the tech industry 
   clamored to join Kidde team.    Whether seventh day add vent     hissed or other religious creed
powerful binary processing 
   impacted near     earth shaking incarnation indeed 
and ramifications in all walks     and talks of life sought expert need.   Coven chanting children murmured Luddites be damned! 

Thus spake Zarathustra (cue the opening scene 
from Planet of the Apes)     upon witnessing as if king or queen 
(in reality father or mother) 
   didst get immediately       dethroned thus, increasing mean
average positive     effects on society, especially lean  microchip i.e. integrated circuitry 

   miniaturization "green"
technology (and eventual     attendant affordable price) 
   viz said trappings       unleashed upon global market 
   invited absolute zero dust, a must clean as a whistle work space,     and manufacturers laboratory be microbe free
   hermetically sealed vacuumed "clean".    Countless portable machines     unbeknownst soon epithet florid hack    coining impromptu called cyber crime 
especially as majority proportion of population     didst purchase these dime,    a doze in countless "end users" 
   snapped up these smart machines 
   excitedly keyed away indifferent to gunk
on unwashed hands     plus bits of food particles 

   eventually caking hardware with grime 
(eventually necessitating technician     charging gobs of moolah     sans to unstitch in time.   Gooey glop getting suctioned out     technicians venting expletives     emphasized obvious     NO FOOD OR DRINK rule to abide  cuz suctioning tower       or laptop presented vulnerability    plus unforeseen downfall against fried
food and greasy hands ended up hide
ding in hardest to reach locale     on circuit board no matter how expert pried 
yelling out gratitude     to geek squad member helping 
   before he/she went out side door
eagerly awaiting 
   remotely controlled self driving vehicle
   transporting techie guru home    to an obscure gated destination,     an uninterrupted distant, yet pleasant ride.   eventually amateurs encouraged     to tinker like an apprenticed tailor     akin as raw troubleshooting recruit     oft playfully feigned to be soldier spy 

 pretending to repair bowel of computer     when in truth visiting supposed shadowing dark side    which lined illegal benefits of labor saving devices),  the sound of silence  (written on the subway walls)      though heretics opposing     latest technology and felt sinister chill
(just ask Punxsutawney Phil),  the Internet ranks as greatest dog sent rill   lee where wiz kids ranked     chatting killer apps with grateful dead    information superhighway as heavenly manna     with artificial intelligence street cred since introduction of white bread 
and powdered milk biscuits baked by Ahmed.
