Posthuman, A Poem © 2010 Michael Blade
I am Human becoming
A Transhuman to be
My existence transforms itself through multiple substrates
I am flesh of evolved genetics
Technology cyborg robotic
Digital virtual and neural simulation
Networked information itself
Yet I retain sentience through all my transformations
I travel among the stars at the speed of light and now faster still
I am now immortal but not eternal
Not all powerful for I still make mistakes, always learning, always exploring
Time is only a measurement to me, I control my rate of consciousness
I allow myself to feel happiness, sorrow and compassion
Respect for my origins, my emotions, so human basic they are
But I have become so much more now, my mind merges with others like myself
On multiple levels of being we are
On the verge of becoming we are
Making love with thought . . .
Posthuman I have become
