Extropy

Life pours out of creation like a torrent

It is a lightning flash across the firmament


We are wisps of quantum nothingness

Yet our being animates the universe


We are the creators of tomorrow’s visions

Not just the sums of yesterday’s decisions


Live out not memory but imagination

To escape from bondage into liberation


Burst the chains of social conditioning

To earn the freedom to become anything


Beyond right and wrong is an open field

Where love and wisdom are revealed


Past and future are prisons timebound

The present is life’s holy playground


Living is not counting ticks closer to death

But seeing ripe possibility in every breath
