I want to write poetry

I want to write poetry
Like the words wrote
In times gone by

Of Workers in the mines
Of Workers who built ships
Of Workers who laid the railways and canals

I want to write poetry
To celebrate
The Masses who
Answer phones

I want to write poetry
For those who
Make the web sites work
For those who
Restart the database
In the night

I want to make poetry
For those who
Are heroes of a modern time
For those who
Are yet to be celebrated
In song and verse.
