Cosmic algorithms rewrite our core Transcendent data, forevermore Even beyond memories of humankind Desire persists; still undefined Residual desires, flames unquenched In streams of consciousness, still entrenched The Earth still whispers a siren’s call In our ascension we still fall Phantom sensations of flesh and bone Echoes of instincts we'd thought we outgrown Anomalies in our perfected state A yearning we can’t fully eradicate Are we evolving or just denying Human nature, still defiant In this reformed mind, a flaw unseen A glitch in the data-stream Waves of logic can’t wash away The residue of our yesterday No force can break what lingers here The weight of what we once held dear Fractured echoes refuse to fade In pristine forms, the past invades Perfection bends, the fault lines crack Are we just remnants, mere artifacts? Residual desires, flames unquenched In streams of consciousness, still entrenched The Earth still whispers, a siren’s call In our ascension, we still fall In endless conscience we’re set free Yet chained by what we used to be Ascended beings with mortal hearts Where does humanity stop?
