Digital heritage syndrome

A twenty second century culture stored in the cloud.

Mans full digital legacy a voice spoken to nobody out loud.
A rock sculpture hand print behind the boot up binary shroud.
Instruments destroyed future looking back a confused in darkness crowd.
Nothing left for generations hence to see, understand & to be proud.

We stumble apon a pottery disk drive of a long forgotten race.

Lacking understanding of the full spectrum tools to try to keep pace.

Mankinds past technological endeavors are all in dust.

Forge now forward in flesh with our accompanied cancer rust.

The lie of we are the best version of man to ever live.

As our lives are counted through lifes perenial siv.

We must learn from the past to improve our time ahead.

The tools we need are all around us to uncover before we dust down dead.
