Beyond HumanA Poem by CzarinaSomething I wrote when I learned about trans humanism. I don't really believe such a thing is entirely possibly, but of course I had to think "what if?...""Everyone deserves to be
Immortal beings, that's fair Living flesh is designed to Fail and rot anyway So from now onwards, With science on our side No one will never, ever Ever have to die" Isn't it amazing? I sat by your bedside The future is knocking Hold your breath longer Humans will become A reinforced species Still living, still breathing, With hollow metal heartbeats Before your body Consumes your own soul You can replace it, erase it You only need your mind You and I can live on An artificial millennium Never knowing gray hairs We'll keep our colors Everyone must comply, eternity guaranteed Everyone must transform so we can all succeed But by the time the release date came into act It was too late You already died... What better way to cheat your death Than to upload your soul into a microchip Though you passed into heaven's gates Its much more fun to live on in this life The afterlife is blocked by a firewall If you're nothing more than a rebooted face But all ends well, a leap for mankind Since I'm still me Live on humanity Years roll by in hundreds No one has died since Still thriving, arriving Trillions of us here I still remember Your flesh and blood face So pretty, so dirty Very inhumane No need for eating Unable to get sick We are invincible New and improved The soul is flexible You can be anything The children switch bodies Its all fun and games But the longer humans live their lives in unfeeling shells But the more greed that rises out of their computer hearts No one remembered how it felt to be flesh or not How do we know Who's the AI? What better way to cheat your death Than to make yourself into a lasting software Billions pile up in skyscrapers That I believe can reach you beyond the sky We make dreams in the cyber space Yet somehow not everyone is satisfied But all ends well, you've got your time You can't kill me Live on humanity Who knew living longer could be so boring? Who thought never dying could be depressing? Were humans even meant to stay here long? No, I don't feel at home at all Who knew humans could be blindly selfish? Who knew eternity could be so terrifying? What do you think, the last one who died? Isn't this right for the good of us? The goal was irony Humans are no more What better way to cheat your death Than to corrode to something like a virus Forgive us God, for trying to be like you It would be nice to have you rebuild us yourself System shutting down, its over now Are there any left of the real humanity? Sorry I kept you waiting centuries But here's the real me The end, humanity © 2015 Czarina |
