"The Grid" by Francis Ohanyido
Francis Ohanyido, Nigeria
A short poem "The Grid":
I feel
The connection
When we meet
Connected for life in methods
Before the smiling Imhotep, Charaka, Lazarsfeld, Cauchy …
Many more connected, many more faces alit
Smiling down the Hallways of Thoth
A quest for the light
Long shining in our thoughts.
We are here
Bound by research
Evolving The Grid
Lacing these web-o- minds
Birthing ideas and innovation
Forging the Ankh of Wisdom
In the Great Library of Alexandria
Where the walls know limitless scrolls
And knowledge walks the Hall.
We are here
Wed in communion of research
Into communities of interest
A stimulus for cross-disciplinary enquiry
In tremulous dawn before the awakening
Into the fellowship of The Grid.
We are here, it is here
Power- up The Grid!
