Inspired by Jason Silva
There is a revolution in the way that we think
Each day we push our bodies, thoughts, and voices to the brink.
Most of us most of the time, see the world through a very small set of filters
We must break these filters and let our thoughts flourish instead of die and wilter.
This is a time of communication, connection, and collaborative innovation
This will bring us progress and give humanly thought salvation
You use perhaps one millionth of the potential energy that’s inside your head
Lost in vibration, are the ideas that are said.
In my mind it is life that gives meaning to life and what we do with life
By preserving knowledge and science with the creation of music and art are the gains of our strife.
In the science of today we become artist. In the art of today, we become scientist
We use this to progress our species to become worldly finalist
There are no boundaries. There are no fears
We use this to accomplish and not look to our rears
Imagination allows us to think beyond our limitation-
It allows us to conceive of what might be -
And go farther that we ever thought possible
No idea ever to grand or radical
The point is in order to use your head you must go out of your mind
In order for you to gain the knowledge needed to unbind
You have to get beyond your routine ways of thinking
In order for your mind to be free of pollution and shrinking
We can break free of our genetic heritage
We have circled the moon, artificially reproduced DNA, and cut our death percentage.
Why should death itself our last enemy be considered beyond conquest?
We as humans have defined ourselves by overcoming biological contests
We are teaching people how to use their head
And have their thoughts ultimately shed
You are ready to have your perspective about yourself and life dramatically changed
And have your body thoughts and life go beyond the possible range
Because you will be a different person, and you should be ready to face this possibility
Because soon we, ourselves will become whole new entities.

After watching a documentary that Jason Silva hosted called "Turning Into Gods". I just had to write this poem.
