This Suicide Will Be PodCastA Poem by James Takeo PantonJust ranting......not to be taken too seriously.......
This suicide will be PodCast
It will be broadcast on your screen
It will be featured on MySpace, and Facebook,
And YouTube too
You can get it on your MSN Messenger
On your webcam in real time
My descent will be transmitted
For everyone to see
My mourners will be the audience
My blog is my eulogy
Does this page define me?
Do these words make any sense?
Everyone I know is neatly compacted here
Packaged to be viewed
Click and refresh for comments
Email and forward to all in your list
Here we are connected
In these tiny little boxes
Waiting for a reply, a response
Seeking a connection
How sad has man become
That it has come to this!
We are isolated and alone
And connect without touching anymore
We left-click, cry, and laugh
And quickly search for more
But THIS suicide will be public
For everyone to see
World Wide Web will document it
For eternity
There will be a page somewhere
That will say “HERE I AM”
And someone will take notice
When they see me on their cam
And when I am gone, and all is lost
And I have become no more
Maybe you can download it
And on your hard drive, store
Somewhere on the internet
I can always be
But it will never document
What IS the real me
