What if you didn’t need your body
If you could exist without a shell
If that other bit that makes you ‘you’
Could simply say farewell
Without our skin we would not feel
Heat, or cold, or pain
If we took away our sense of touch
I wonder what we’d gain
Our senses grant us abilities
To understand the world and how we fit
Inside the laws by which we’re bound
But what if there is more to it
We know that there are things that we
Can’t smell, or hear, or see
Yet we can improve upon these senses
With the help of technology
I wonder what else may exist
Senses we don’t yet have access to
Our bodies really are a gift
But there are things we can not do
Things which are hard to understand
And are harder to explain
As our bodies do not have the tools
To make sense in our brain
Time is only relevant
To that which will one day not exist
Your body will burn or decay
But what if consciousness persists
Without a body time would be
An absolute irrelevance
An existence outside time and space
Could mean omnipresence
No more too hot, no more too cold
No pressures and no to-dos
No suffering of any kind
And panoramic views
No more discrimination
As everyone’s the same
No judgment from a life that’s been
Now that everything’s reframed
Our energy combined as one
Each individual still defined
All experiences shared in unity
A collective semi hive mind
When my body has served it’s final day
In material space
I will feel no fear as I now know
I will be going to a better place
