Z e i t g e i s t Enchanted
I whispered precipice towards the singularity
I felt the intangible change in humanity
Drones, predictive analytics, cyber-warfare
I knew we were at a teetering point
Quantum computing would usher in
High and Bright decades
Even more reliance and compliance
Getting lost in the matrix for a dig at compassion
Walking in another man’s shoes for real
I watched TED talks each week wondering
At the original transcendence of humanity
If all these virtual worlds would take us there
To the cliff of the science-fiction
Where machine learning became
Synonymous with sustainability
For the future was rushing us
And time was accelerating as we knew her
A quantum entanglement with
All future selves and meme descendants
Having children no longer consisted of
Popping out babies, there was a synergy
Between mind and mind across time-space
Distances and decades, the glowing throng
Of information-influence, binary would one day
Be an artefact of a caveman-esque find
I’d reincarnate on a terraformed Mars
I was planning my future intoxicated
With the dangers and intrigues of my time.
