Net Neutrality

inalienable, inimitable,
     and inviolable sacrosanct
contentiously debated enshrined Constitution 
     ratified June 21, 1788

     preceding hallmark Bill of Rights 
     (adopted effective December 15, 1791) rank 
despite British Monarchy exerting, sans lanced 
     strong arm tactics in response to "FAKE prank

asserting original fledgling NON GMO, 
gluten and msg free 
     thirteen American colonies 
     (with a great hee hoe)

severely itching for 
     (and declared) autonomy 
     from Britain with mojo
memorialized On July 2, 1776, 

     when Second Continental Congress, 
     (with more yes votes then no)
met in Philadelphia voting 
     unanimously, where  this poe

whit notates historical 
     declaration of independence, 
yet since Information Technology Revolution 
     trumps Founding Fathers (well nigh
 
     almost two hundred 
     and fifty (CCL) year status quo
as into uncharted figurative waters 
     American Democracy doth row,

especially problematic to adapt 
     couched freedoms show
cased within storied 
     novel innovative though

now confounding, frustrating, 
     and immobilizing supposed call
ling on learned scholars 
     adept doctors at law,

     resistant to brickbats 
     heaved by protesters with gall 
or perhaps consulting 
     entertainers at Faneuil Hall,  

how in tarnation can the tenets, rubric, 
     and precepts, sans seven score

 before advent of tele

     exhibited fiercely greedily 
     hungry indomitable up pall

     via erecting a unscalable fire wall  

authorized with an A okay by the FCC
Federal Communications Committee to glee

     (blood) letting "Big Cable", thus 

     allowing, enabling, and promoting key
purrs of the Internet remain 
     under jurisdiction me

i.e. be deliberately blocked as well  
     particular products or websites pre

yar olds to voice objection, 
     and take prescient action NOW!
