*From Bard*

*Amateur Radio*

i carry your voice

on my lips

like a song

i speak your name

into the air

and hear you answer

from across the world

we are connected

by waves of sound

a bond

that cannot be broken

we are amateur radio operators

a community of people

who share a passion

for communication

we are the keepers

of a dying art

but we will not let it die

we will keep the dream alive

of a world

where everyone can connect

with everyone else

through the magic of radio

we are the voice of the people

the voice of the world

we are amateur radio operators

and we will never be silenced.
