SL Beatitudes
Blessed are the non-verbal,
for they shall inherit the bedrooms and nude beaches.
May their Sexgen beds never break.
May their excite bits be well textured.
Fortunate are these non-verbal,
for theirs is a world of perfect pixels.
where they enjoy synchronized masturbation
undisturbed by language barriers, incoming IM windows,
or a partner's quick trip to the bathroom.
Blessed are the text typists,
for they shall inherit the dance clubs and concert halls.
May their dances stay sychronized.
May their chat and IM never lag.
Fortunate are these text typists,
for theirs is a world of multiple possibilities
where the net of words they cast to the crowd returns full
undisturbed by actual gender, accents, sneezing,
or limiting themselves to a single partner in a single IM.
Blessed are the voice users,
for they shall inherit the hearts and minds of avatar lovers.
May their music streams stay connected.
May their voice IM never switch into chat.
Fortunate are these voice users,
for theirs is a world of intimate connections
where their songs earn gifts at concerts
and longing, loving sounds fill the ears
undisturbed by physical appearance,
or long distance peak hour plans.
Blessed are the cell phone users,
for they shall inherit the highways and parks of the real world.
May their call records stay private.
May their batteries be long life.
Fortunate are these cell phone users
for theirs is a world of cordless acess
where a lover's voice delights stolen moments throughout the day
undisturbed by body shapes, morning hair,
or red eyes from 3AM phone calls.
Blessed are the web cammers,
for they shall inherit the curves and smiles of their lover
May their camera motion be smooth and well lit.
May their bodies be pleasant in their lover's sight
Fortunate are these web cammers,
for theirs is a world of visual fulfillment
where imagination becomes full disclosure
undisturbed by morning breath, communicable diseases,
or the cost and time of traveling each day.
Blessed are the real people,
for they shall inherit the pleasure of all the senses.
May their hopes be realistic.
May their hearts remain true.
Fortunate are these real people
for theirs is a world of high risk and high reward
where only the past is a secret.
Facing all your insecurities, exposed, examined,
May you fulfill enough expectations.
May you share enough pleasure,
forgive, communicate,
and find real love and joy in each other.
