So I just heard that this company is developing this ‘fantastic new technology’ that will revolutionize the way we travel. So, here’s the premise: this plane-like flying machine launches you and the other occupants into sub-orbit where you then proceeed to fly crazy-fast to anywhere in the world you wish. Here’s the problem with that; I find the idea of an airplane to be crazy enough, let alone chucking one of those things up in the sky at an altitude as high as over 100 CN Towers stacked on top of one another. Apparently, this ‘fantastic new technology’ will alllow you to fly to China in like 2 hours, but to be honest I would rather stay within the earth’s atmosphere for a couple more than venture into the nether-regions of the universe just to go get a Hello-Kitty backpack. I just hope that people realize that this sort of idea is scary and that us, as a society, are not ready for this. If planes are still not 100% reliable, why push the envelope this far. I predeict that this technology does one of 2 things: fails dismally and ruins the lives of a select few or is ultimately realized as superflous.
Frantic bodies are rushing through the room
Tiny voices softly pleading
Shaking fingers tremble with uncertainty
Matching the beats of their hearts
Bring me a prophet or a crystal ball
And burn them on the pyre
As their cinders dissolve into the air
I can see the open gate
The defenseless innocent are now held in account
Prodded upward by their ransom
Lonely prayers fumble for the light
But the wires have been severed
