About Twitter:
Or Face Book, in My Space, or G-blog
Cyber-world is a product of B-Boomers, our generation
Not Gen X, nor our Gen Y Kids – the internet is ours
Forged from parents who survived the Great Depression
Lived through WW II and
Our futures were paved long before we drew breath
Now we are the geriatric types
We still seek answers and solutions
Determined to make sense of ‘who we are’ and ‘why we are here’
Our lives are parables
The juxtaposition of each one of our lives intersects with others
These disparate parts create a ‘whole’
Every morning as we rise
Percolating coffee, checking email
There is, thankfully, a constant
Whom we choose to worship
Regardless of belief
We Boomers must decide to unite
We cast our own lot as we well know
By age and collective wisdom
Incontrovertibly, we are already connected
Our shared knowledge
The skill sets we have honed
Have created a symphony
Millennia before we Boomers
Began our journey, wrote our melodies or sang our songs
Aesop taught us: "United we stand, divided we fall"
Our parents and grandparents led the way
And saved the day
Through war, famine and pestilence
Now it is up to us
Because when we stand together
We are strong
History is being written today
Whimsically,
What will our legacy be?
Together we can transfer our faith
Pass on what we have learned
And pave a golden path for our children to follow
Together we can solve our ills
United we can compile our collaborations
As a generation, it is time for us to mobilize
Coincidence does not exist
Therefore through Twitter, Face Book, Classmates, You Tube and all the rest
We can almost instantaneously meld together
So I ask you
Are you ready to lead the way?
Are you ready to stand united with your fellow B Boomers?
