N.G.O. Memberships
N.G.O. MEMBERSHIPS
No diplomat, untried, I pledge my efforts, for
Great hopes and greater need in ISOC are retained -
Onwards Time's pulses speed, much needs to be explained.
Much must be clarified coherently before
Emerges, may abide, a world where rich and poor
May plant shared future's seed with confidence unfeigned.
Before all learn to read, with inner wisdom gained,
Evolving worlds need guide Tomorrow to redraw,
Require help to decide 'how', 'when', must not ignore
Signs certain which, indeed, environments have strained,
Hand change to new change breed - which cannot be restrained.
If from through concensus wide fresh impetus can soar,
Priorities now shared by ISOC, UNESCO,
Shall reach goals unimpaired, - for all free networked flow...
