I’m as well as the world
Entangled as we are
Hungry wanting surviving in the ways we desire
Enamored with the dead we become them
Imprisoned by man-made things
Locating the precise global position of our minds
Discovering nothing there
We work hard to become material
Matter lacking empathy
It takes great expense and a high level of precision
To engineer our virtual lives
Exactly as we want them
In potent simulacra
Avatars objectified humans
Zombies to destroy
People to kill and not care about
Hating ourselves for fun
Embarrassed by our bodies
We give them away
Hacked hashed cypher boys
Slaughtered symbol girls
Neutralized alive in technoverse
Our moist parts encoded in electron clouds
Instantaneous thoughts animated whole in the Net
Self-programmed and alone
The uncontrollable desire of a disembodied brain
