Opportunity Knocks

by Michael D Nalley

Opportunities often knock at our door
Those we have to choose to accept or ignore
It is sometimes a shame we don't unlock
The door even when we hear the knock

Opportunity may be a road full of rocks
Life is a journey filled with hard knocks
One road may be right, the other wrong
One road may be short, the other long

Many times we wish we could turn back the clock
To a time that we heard a good opportunity knock
It has been said time and tide wait for no man
For goodness sake we must come up with a plan

The world is a diverse place of cold reality, and warm romance
Where the merciful Lord often offers more than one chance
The wise will learn from the hard knocks to avoid the dangerous rocks
Time will tell who has fell and got back up when opportunity knocks

The effects of technology are greater in urban communities. The Urban Technology Explorer (UTE) is designed for a general population whose social, economical, spiritual, physical, educational, mental and financial sustainability require that they become aware of the effects of new technologies on urban communities. It is the group's goal to have everyone better understand both communities and technologies so that they can improve the former by intelligently utilizing the latter.
