Satellites A To Z Poem by Claude Simpson

As they float above the clouds
in cosmic orientation
Rotating in the vastness of space,
feeding communication;

The data transmission creates a real-time effect
as satellites orbit the earth.
Though beneficial to all with remarkable success,
the true concern is cost and worth.

Above all, the returns are value-added
to the nations;
Considering speed, distance, time,
functions and relations.

From sky to earth
in the silence of the deep;
Science evinces quietly,
like the calmness of midnight's sleep.

Far, far below,
wavelengths are fallen,
As stillness disrupts
and objects shaken.

In immeasurable delight...
graphic images, messages and sounds come to life.
A new era is born
as the old takes a flight.
