Hymn to the News[4]

Blessed Information Highway,
alive and at large in this world,
Help me to follow-up and retrieve my mail today,
even while I’m on IRC to conversate,
   to meet people,
   spend time,
   and make love.
Take me as a dynamic user of your kingdom,
   to see through my browser,
   to hear the questions people are asking,
   to welcome all newbies with trust and truth
   and to change the things that contradict the Netiquette,
   by the power of the Word,
   the healing of Reason
   and the freedom of Speech.

Amen.

Hymn to the News [3]

Almighty News, source of information,
we have deviated from you and the subject
in words and threads and mail.
through negligence, through weakness,
through our own deliberate tests.
We are truly sorry
and repent all our scams.
For the sake of the fruit of News,
Originality, who was killed by our hands.
Forgive us our past;
and grant that our servers give
you more news in life.
To the glory of your Name.

Amen.

Hymn to the News [2]

In the beginning there was News,
Today is News,
Tomorrow will be News,
Who can make an image of News?
He has a body. He has a head.
He has an ID and a subject.
I’ll draw you some News!
They’re the words that come out of your mouth!
They’re the sentences, easily punning your eyes!
They’re the articles, posted straight in your brains!
And Those verbs! They’re no more,
They’re past and present,
And they still live!
So is News.

Amen

Hymn to the news

Blessed be you, newsgroup, threads and articles:

you who yield only to crosspostings,
you who force us to make news if we would read

Blessed be you, newbie, spammer and schemer,

you who unless we fence around, will devour us.

Blessed be you, contributor: Odean and Wundean,

you who, by constantly shattering our mental
categories, forces me to go even further and
further in my pursuit for creation.

Blessed be you, Cyberspace, Information HighWay,
Long March To Informality.

you who by overflowing and dissolving our narrow
shimmering chest on our desks reveal to us the
dimensions of Originality.

Amen.
