There aren’t beings, just bodies. Just skin and parts to be conscientiously coded as we are packed into boxes like commodified corpses. Carcasses eroded. When will we learn? Can we still learn? Learn to look at all beyond the body. Or are we doomed to linger, these living corpses? Oh, if only we had greying skin, broken out of wooden boxes and, in doing so, break into the Code. **** the Code! Yet, no mind is bold enough to learn. To unpack brains overflowing with long forgotten boxes. After all, it is your body. In the end, it is your skin. And it’s you who dwells in this corpse. But please, oh please, do not pity the corpses! Empty shells enslaved only by a code of laws as pliable as skin. And despite lessons past, they never learn to take hold of horns hitched upon the bull’s body. But, instead, cower and corrode in the comfort of an illusory box. A cadaver’s box fashioned by corpses. Bodies led by bodies no more fit than the next to conjure an unquestionable code. But they never learn. Where is the sanity beneath that skin so telling? The different skins in color-coded boxes with the definition of difference never truly learned. There are only corpses. Existing encoded as senseless, sightless, and soul-less bodies. Let us skin the corpses! Trade the boxed remains for lessons learned: The mind and the soul, beyond the body. We are the Code.
