Cryonics

TALKING CRYONICS

Did you ever want to go to a time in the future after your own death?
Cryonics is thought to be science fiction by some people. Imagine yourself five hundred years from now, in a very different world. Cars will fly in cities where the streets have been turned into immense parks. Money might have finished and no one in the world will die at all.
You will live for as long as you want to, and when you’re tired of life, you will be placed in a tank.

We all have to die at the moment. No one is safe from death. Whether you’re young or old, poor or rich, black or white, intelligent or dumb, you have to die.
I don’t want to decompose in a coffin or to be burned to cinders. Cryonics might take me to that future where death has been vanquished. If I don’t wake up at all and cryonics fails, I'll stay dead. Just like the rest of you.

A DREAM

A calm sea shines under a full moon
Showing the view

Of a peaceful beach
Amidst utopia

As a wave hurtles
Towards the shore

Threatening to engulf me
Into chaos

I wish it to stop
And it’s Motionless in an instant

Weird in my vision
I can’t be sure whether it’s reality

Or if it exists alongside my fears
I’m thankful for this gift of freezing time

To save my life
Lost in the cosmos

Then consciousness
Threatens to sweep away sleep

And throws me
Towards a bluish sea of reality

While the morning sun
Awakes my senses

As I open my eyes
I remember that frozen second

Of eternity
Thrown into uncertainty

FALSE PROPHET

FALSE PROPHET

Open thou souls to me
Envelop your minds in glory
And accept my awesome gifts
Sharing my love with others

Please pray
Always, always do
And worship me
The rewards will be

Hard to imagine
In this life or in the next one
My amazing miracles
Will keep you

Alive and happy
Because let me tell you people
You haven’t truly loved
Until you believe in me

Let me come into your lives
After a prayer
Allow me to love you
It’s as simple as that

And cherish me
Even if I’m a myth
Brought into your hearts
In a feat of blasphemy

JESUS, THE CRYONICIST

He prayed
And performed miracles
His mission had been a simple one
To save the mortal man

As he cured the sick
And raised the dead from their graves
He was a king without a crown
Whose purpose

Became his goal
Man of wisdom
King of us all
Who had a simple plan

He taught us a lesson
With his unfair demise
Up on the hill
In a metal tank

At the hands of his friends
Whom he had come to save
From going back to the earth
As nature intended

Three days after his death
He arose again
From his cold container
In glorious triumph

This son of a carpenter
Came back from death
As a feat of science
In a Cryonics way

Happy Cryonics Easter

MY CHOICE

I want my body in ice
Where it’ll survive harshness

In a bed of cold liquid
It will last

Up to the end of time
Enshrouded in freshness

Far from cremation
And the tomb

There is no heaven
Hell stays a legend

The future for me
Lies in the frost

While others decompose
Becoming bones

Turning into dust
Back to the earth

Time will tell
Whether I’ll survive

Cocooned in ice
Marooned in age


SURVEY
What do you want to happen to your body after you die?

1: Do you want to be cremated?
2: Do you want to be buried?
3:Do you want to be frozen?

You must explain why you are doing it.

SAVING HENRY

Henry is a dummy
With plastic skin
And placid eyes

At five thirty he died
By five thirty one
He was lifted onto the ice bath

We didn’t want to send him
To dummy heaven
If it ever existed

We did compressions
Put his head in ice
And an IV line in his arm

Medications went in
Flowing through his blood
And stopped free radicals

Ice bags around his body
Kept the temperature down
While oxygen

Went into his lungs
Saving the brain
Keeping grey matter fresh

IMAGINE

Imagine a frozen Jesus Christ
Lying in a tank
While we all pray to him
For our sins

Frozen Jesus lives forever
Like a real God ever does
But he’s the coolest king
Of creation and all

The pope kneels in front of our saviour
Who looks at him
From his cool container
Amidst the frost

Frozen Jesus reigns from cryonics heaven
Full of vitrification liquid
Ready to come back on Judgment day
And expiate our sins

In his future kingdom
Achieved with the highest technology
Of the far away future
Doing justice to our saviour

Praise our frozen Lord
Let’s hope his future realm
Brings peace and harmony
To our imaginary world
