The Gravity

Before we start to prophesize about impending doom
 These are extraordinary times if only for a few
 Why fear it now? the fate we cannot choose
 Such awesome power that no one could refuse
 Hope, in this undertaking-hope that we will awaken from the dream that urges us along
 Hope, to find the solutions-hope, to be more than human in a future tailored for the strong
 I am nothing but ones and zeroes and I'm already primed
 A post-human god, a post-human god
 And you can slowly feel the gravity as we approach a singularity
 And maybe, there will be no war and maybe, we'll hunger no more
 The body's a hotel for the mind-it's something to be left behind-it's just a temporary shell and thoughts are only energy-they're stored by so much memory-you only need a bigger cell
 So overwhelming it defies my unassisted brain
 The law of entropy applies-it will not be contained
 Why fear it now? -the fate we cannot choose
 Such awful power-it's only ours to lose
 Hope, in our home in the cloud-hope, we can see the way down through uncanny valleys we must cross
 Hope to find the solutions-hope, to be more than human-be forever with our loved ones lost
 Surely, we can't escape the gravity of the coming singularity
 Long before the dawning of the age of information
 Long before the printing press or the Sumerian tablets
 Long before the paintings of the cave wall woolly mammoths
 and before we made our spears in the hot untamed savannah
 We can't escape...
