CHALLENGES

A VISION THEN GOAL
OR A WONDERFUL DREAM
CAREFULLY PLANNED STEPS
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

LOOK BACK TO A TIME
WHEN DAYS WENT SO SLOW
DEW DROPS ON GRASS
DANCING SUN RAYS AGLOW

THE PRESSURE AND CONSTRAINTS
COMPOUNDED EACH DAY
IS THIS REALLY THE LIFE
YOU WANTED TO PLAY

SO MANY MORE THINGS
WE ALL WANT TO LEARN
WHAT IS FORGOTTEN
JUST LEFT TO BURN

IS THERE SOMETHING SMOULDERING
DEEP IN YOUR MIND
WAITING TO BE IGNITED
WILL IT BE KIND

PLEASE DON'T IGNORE
THE DEPTH OF YOU
CONFORMING TO MASSES
IS NOTHING NEW

THE SURFACE OF LIFE
IS ONLY A COVER
PEEL AWAY THE CRUST
MUCH MORE TO DISCOVER

REVEAL TO YOURSELF
JUST WHO YOU CAN BE
A MAGICAL PERSON
WE ALL NEED TO SEE

WHAT WILL REMAIN
WHEN OUR LIGHT GOES OUT
A PURPOSEFUL LIFE
LEAVE NO DOUBT

BREATHE FOR A MOMENT
SEE BEAUTY AROUND
THE SUN RISE, THE MOON RISE
AND LOOK TO THE GROUND

A BUTTERFLY LANDING
ON A DANCING LEAF
A BUG EXPLORING
THE GROUND BENEATH

THE PURPOSE OF THIS POEM
MY HOPE TO INSPIRE
NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS
I WISH; ALL YOU DESIRE!

I found an interesting website during my research, it seems in posting my original questions in my first Blog I now have some answers.  It is undisputed that we are able to reach more people than ever before and not everyone is on an equal playing field. Adapting services to accommodate all people will continue to provide a challenge for us all, but we now have the technology to enable us a greater capacity to work together, helping people across the globe.  People who have a form of disability now have a greater world reach because of the web and are able to access social media and other sites.  While Internet usage has not reached all people, the ever increasing way in which sites are being developed are catering to large groups of people and the more people able to have access to it may in turn be able to reach others in a secondary way.  We may very well be losing something, but we are also gaining a wider reach across the globe and more connectivity in a capacity never seen before.  With all evolution there are key transitional points and maybe with the explosion of new technology we are now in a transitory stage and trying to adapt to it in a socially acceptable way.
