Recording Rights
- Thoughts and ideals prescribed on paper
- Preserve the persona prevalent to the past
- Many perspectives presented themselves
- But The victors copy only was written to last
- As our scale of time flows forever forward
- Expanding numbers ever closer to infinity
- Recording rights are expressly relinquished
- From history's monopoly of strictly victory
- Media is recorded at a Demi constant pace
- Information extended freely from the inter web
- To the hand of whoever desires a download
- From a light spun pattern decoded by the head
- Actions hold a weight with unknown potential
- But certainly making anonymity a challenge
- A virtual timeline follows the path of each
- Careless posts are crushed by future talons
- Format text, photos, and video into a profile
- Now even before device aptitude is achieved
- Pictures en utero and a video of first steps
- Sent and stuck to the web to be perceived
- Hidden behind usernames and passwords
- Explorers sift and subscribe to their interests
- Automatically notified of every development
- Within moments of when the event manifests
- As a result of this constantly updating culture
- Life is uploaded and shared with all who care
- Virtually linking physical beings to one another
- Along with all the happenings relevancy can bear
- The answers to most questions but is a click away
- Proof provided by citing publicly trusted sources
- There Is a community online for every individual
- Regardless of standing or available resources
- So now Everyman can have his life recorded
- Find his favorite corner, and build his legacy
- Welcome to the almighty Information Age
- Where just a hyperlink can be your obituary
