Mine eyes have seen the glory of an internet that’s free

… free in Yemen, and Oaxaca, also free to you and me

Not speaking of who pays for it , but of human liberty

The Internet is free!

 

Lobbyists take sand and pound it

Leave the net the way you found it

We will learn to route around it!

The Internet is free!

 

You’ve woken up a Golem you will never ever stop

When under-20s get it they will fight you till they drop

What kind of harvest will you get with ignorance the crop?

The Internet is free!

    This brought tears to my eyes. WOW. Of course maybe it was just the contrast between this and the previous “poetry” we discussed.
