Open Free Culture! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

Morals are Murals,
Of Endeavours,
In a Life's Journey!

Attributions to be Made,
Gratitude to be Shown,
For Contributions,
Borrowed & Incorporated,
To Reap the Benefits!

As Believers & Practicioners,
Of Free Open Culture;
Copy Left & Permissive Free,
Creative Commons,
Social Cause should,
Our Efforts Go Into!

The Legal Political,
Capitalistic Business,
Lobbied Protectionism,
Game of Patents,
Copyrights, Trademarks;
Not of True Character,
Not of Real Merit,
Never a Zone of Comfort!

Neither Violation,
Nor Infringement,
Or Hacking meant,
To be a Dear Hobby,
With Conscious Intent!
In Spirit the IP Rights,
Be Respected!

Ignore Not to Salute,
Original Researchers,
Discoverers & Innovators;
For their Sacrifices,
And Creative Ideas,
To have made it to,
The Competitive Market!
If not their true Names,
That Fetched Fame!
