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” texted 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.

- Comment from author about the poem: 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. I will be happily corrected by anyone in the know of traditional forms. I did several searches but came up empty handed.

Parsed bits and Bytes
loved it
Thanks Michael, here are a few of my favorites from Robert Spitzer (The Souls’s Upward Yearning: Clues to Our Transcendent Nature from Experience and Reason): 1.) Fine-Tuning “for Life” at the Big Bang: Implications of Supernatural Intelligence 2.) The High Improbability of Our Low-Entropy Universe 3.) The High Improbability of Anthropic Conditions (Based on Universal Constants). Please don’t asked me to explain as I can’t but Father Spitzer can; parsed bits and bytes!
I love that second one --sounds like good reading
