Recording Rights

by Timoathe

August 24, 2016

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
