A New Age

Step right up it's all the rage, 
 it's the dawning of a brand new age. 
The wonderful world of Iron and Clay, 
 finally our time to shine, let's not delay. 

Come get in line and get your chip, 
 you'll have the world at your fingertips. 
Head or hand it's all up to you, 
 you'll be a brand new man, when we're through. 

No more need for cards or cash to buy or sell, 
 just scan your head or hand, it will never fail. 
With this tiny implant things will change, 
 the possibilities are just insane. 

The whole world now we'll be able to track, 
 no lost children and that's a good fact. 
Crime will plummet under this global plan, 
 it's hard to break the law without head or hand. 
 
The medical wonders, too many to count, 
 with these devices your health is paramount. 
We will be able to fix failing organs and missing limbs, 
 with electronic replacements built within.  

All these things will extend your life, 
 a fountain of youth and no more strife. 
All of your hand held devices at your command, 
 it's all in one, right in your head or hand. 

Now this new age comes with faith as well, 
 no more talk about heaven or hell. 
We will have heaven on earth it's true, 
 a regular garden of eden for me and you. 

All religions and denominations will be as one, 
 a universal faith and a God that's fun. 
Fire and brimstone will be no more, 
 come to our temple through the ecumenical door. 

Your sins will be forgiven before they are committed, 
 the things in the Bible you don't like, just omit it. 
We want the church to finally conform, 
 to this wonderful world and all its norms. 

Our worship will be without constraints, 
 do what feels good, we are all saints. 
No dress code needed in this place, 
 in fact nude is considered in good taste. 

Political correction will be our doctrine, 
 no more punishment for those who sin. 
We will not worship things unseen, 
 but an idol once thought to be obscene. 

Now I think we've sold you on our vision, 
 to come together as one, without derision. 
Man has finally reached the summit
 and become a god, that even God could covet. 



" Beaware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's 
  clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. "  - Matthew 7:15
