The Best of Times
We are the cutting edge of a thousand God seeds.
Right now, right here.
No time before, so advanced, safe, enlightened,
scientifically sound and technologically easy
to be the best of you.
Stand in an infested swamp
your survivability has never been so likely.
Yesterday was dangerous, today the odds have improved.
This is the best time to be alive in.
This is the best of times to fall ill in,
even the best day or night to die in.
We are the forward wave of what comes next.
Right here and now we step away from the unnecessary,
tomorrow will be another leap forward
as we move away from the dull drudgery of our history.
Are you Free?
Happy?
Fulfilled?
Inspired by adversity?
Child of this moment,
did you think you could have everything?
