2012 PAD 12 - That Which Is Old Is New Again

2012PAD12.txt

Every day I wish
For a great technology
Something new and something fresh
To help save humanity
I look to physics, and to astronomy
To engineering and biology
But now I know that I've missed it
While running in this human race
The greatest technology exists today
We just haven't given it its place
Our language is the tool
That will build a better world
Our ability to communicate
To talk, to think, to describe how it's done
To convey and inspire meaning
In a world of ears and eyes
What will save us isn't new
In fact it's as old as us
Let's begin to use our words
For the sake of everyone
