Bridge Of Sighs Cut Down To Size Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Bridge Of Sighs Cut Down To Size



From handicap to handicap dark bridge of sighs extends,
that isolates communities seen seldom hand in hand,
as strengths and weaknesses compete, scene one can understand.
Far finer seems defining themes, dreams' interface which ends
false fears and petty jealousies, needs’ lobbies which defend
each righteous cause yet scarce explore shared strategy well planned
obtaining recognition and discrimination banned.
For special needs’ diversity: bridge ties, no sighs to mend!
The pace at which technologies converge today depends
too often on priorities where cents not sense command.
As digital divides increase, some challenges are spanned,
but others raise their ugly heads when bias fear befriends.

So lend an ear with second sight not third hand platitudes.
Send message clear, true progress steer, evolving attitudes.
