Who will be number 

10,000? 

Some prize should be given 

Some thank you note 

Received

But 

I doubt 

This program is programmed 

For such 

And I'm sure I 

     Wouldn't know how 

     To do it 

     Anyway 

But some thanks are 

In order for 

The wonderful readers 

Who have come 

To view

To read 

To see 

This internet of

All things 

May -

Help us all 

Get along 

And comprehend 

The quality

That the "common person"

Possesses

I think it is very important

Now

Especially 

Now 

Remember -

"What if they gave a war

And nobody came?"

What if we all saw

The sacredness 

     Of the planet 

And all things 

On it? 

What if "they" 

Couldn't lie to us and 

Manipulate us 

Anymore 

Because 

We started to 

Talk -

To each other? 

"They" might have to take their 

Toys of mass destruction 

And go home 

If there's nobody 

To push the button 

What then?

If we all know

Humility 

And peace 

What then ? 

Where is their power 

Then ?

Grasp the center 

Of the circle 

And hang on tight
