*Untitled*

|
I sometimes think
|
||
|
|
of electron paths
|
||
|
|
And particles too small to know
|
||
|
|
Coursing endlessly through silicon substrates
|
||
|
|
Messeners delivering their word
|
||
|
|
At the speed of light
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I sometimes think
|
||
|
|
Of data streams
|
||
|
|
Carrying vast amounts of information
|
||
|
|
Ceaselessly flowing through the vast networks
|
||
|
|
That criscross our ever shrinking world
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I sometimes think
|
||
|
|
Of numbers too large to comprehend
|
||
|
|
And quantities no human can know
|
||
|
|
Quantities, that fly
|
||
|
|
From machine to machine
|
||
|
|
Their own cryptic language
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I sometimes think
|
||
|
|
Of what lies beyond
|
||
|
|
This encoded world
|
||
|
|
Of things that can spring forth
|
||
|
|
From the patterns of ones and zeros
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And I sometimes dream
|
||
|
|
Of how free it all can be
|
||
|
|
Information
|
||
|
|
passing from one mind to another
|
||
|
|
Only seconds away
|
||
|
|
Yet across the globe
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And I sometimes see
|
||
|
|
How boundaries drop
|
||
|
|
How race and gender
|
||
|
|
And everything else that seperates
|
||
|
|
One mind from another
|
||
|
|
Loose meaning in this digital dream
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And once again I dream
|
||
|
|
Of this freedom
|
||
|
|
Of this place where
|
||
|
|
You are judged only by what you say
|
||
|
|
And not who you are
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And I sometimes i think I see
|
||
|
|
The paradigm about to shift
|
||
|
|
And open this world to everybody
|
||
|
|
Who would come
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I invite all to come here
|
||
|
|
The assholes
|
||
|
|
The bigots
|
||
|
|
The politically correct
|
||
|
|
The leftist radicals
|
||
|
|
All those who will come
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For this is a place of freedom
|
||
|
|
Information makes it free
|
||
|
|
Lack of boundaries makes it free
|
||
|
|
Diversity makes it free
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But the most liberating thing of all
|
||
|
|
Is the anonimity
|
||
|
|
The facelessness
|
||
|
|
The lack of color
|
||
|
|
The lack of physical being
|
||
|
|
The wealth of oddity
|
||
|
|
The wealth of normality
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And most of all
|
||
|
|
The wealth of freedom
|
||
