PERMANENT VIRTUAL IDENTITY

 

The game resides purely in your health

Resisting the incursions

Maintaining independence, self-reliance

A continual sense of self

As independent of the body

But only sustained through the body

On this plane – call it mortality –

A form, capable of pure reality

As when young and beyond pretty –

Out to a zone of near perfection –

You see why the species is near its optimum –

            Any more intellectual advances

            And the body cannot retain proximity –

            It will be left behind

            An aging irrelevancy –

            As the virtual world learns

            To sell the concept of permanent identity –

            All your creations itemized

            Put in the cloud of computer memory

            Beyond any war

            Beyond negation

            Unto oblivion of the planet and the races

You now create your own personal coin –

Unalterable – containing your accounts

And all your personal recordings

Such that your will is transported

Beyond the body, virtual identity –

Who knows if the organism is alive

As long as it keeps making decisions

And dispersing funds –

Like a family trust

Except it has no expiration                                                               220602.2
