How Would We Know the Difference

The advancement of technology
Is happening faster than we can mature
We bow in zombie reverence
Mythologies we shall always procure
If we can't understand it
Then we categorize it divine
And we submit to a new God
Then another religion made of lies

Now pace makers for the heart
And similar procedures common place
But perhaps these new advancements
Are leading us to the darkest place
So how long before it's trendy
To get an intelligence upgrade
The newest post-op surgery
To put an implant in our brain?

We are so afraid of honesty
We look for anything to believe
Any excuse to distract us
A God, a flag, a creed
Perhaps this new procedure
Is not a far-off thing
Perhaps we are already cocooned
As far as the eye can see

google:  Pentagon + computer brain implants
