“digital immortality”

25 people with more money than sense
are trying to ascend to godhood again
and we, the other 99%, dare them to do it –

in the same week that a
man in ontario, california sets fire
to his workplace screaming “you could have
paid us a living wage”

(careful,
he’s a hero)

we will all have bread & roses when you
upload yourselves to your digital heavens
to preside over an eternity of ozymandian
digital sand

we will feast on the grapes of wrath you
kept from us when you hang yourself
by a noose of your own hubris

may your wait-list be short
and your eternity be long
and ultimately fruitless

-Allēna
