The easiest way to understand life today Lies jacked in through doors of tech: A mirrored world of illusion Virtually identical and yet absolute In its perversion of reality Wherein lie the keys of reason For by experience we see the light Of life necessary to grow by Diversity the Tao of the world Which preaches salvation Keeping us all focused, alive In an electron sea of nubulous novae Technobabble erecting there a Tower Of Man to man illusively elusive Deconstructed in a nano-second night Aive with the borealis of thought This cyberial dimension ante-diluvial Yet product and source of the Deluge Of information air and power water The electromagnetic fire of a worldmind Nonexistent, but existing only In our minds a way clear An open door to other realities Dimensions unknown, domains unexplored Which is as it should be A lesson, a path, a gateway To understanding.
Reason for writing:
The phenomenon of the World Wide Web itself.
