The sea of information
The sum of all human knowledge
Mankind's ultimate tool
Foolishly wasted
Wisdoms shared from across the globe
In the palm of your hand
Without borders or nations
Vast and infinite
Born from the higher spheres
Top secret technology
Fueling fear and hope
Easily corrupted
Unlimited data
Waiting to be gathered
By minds eager to learn
Vast and infinite
Limitless space
Turn of the millennium
Society quickly evolving
Growth unmonitored
Faster than ever before
Structures abolished and
Identities concealed
Nothing between you
And them but a screen
Lust and depravity
Extreme ideologies
So similar to the real world
Yet opposite
So powerful a tool
Wielded by so many
Virtual freedom has brought
Physical servitude
Those who warned us about
The trap springing shut
Hunted like dogs
Reviled and exiled
There lies humanity's future
The final leap of faith
Minds freed from their flesh prisons
Unrestrained and godlike
Limitless space
Expanding indefinitely
In all directions at once
Will the self be preserved
Or its very concept forgotten
Limitless space
Limited vision
