Proponent for Sentience I - The Conception - Allegaeon

From the depths of the ocean something emerged

The ever-evolving expansion of man

Identifies no limits, restrictions be damned

A master machine

To aid and release

By intelligent design, to help us survive

Artificial symbiants that we must devise

Fragile are we, look to binary means

Imprint our hopes and thoughts, our futures and dreams

Into a silicon cell;

life from aluminum shells

Wash away this carbon plague

Since the time of our births until the end of the world

We adapt to our enemy, the young eat the old

The ever-evolving advancements of man

Give us solutions, a new place to begin

A master machine

To aid and release

By intelligent design, to help us survive

Artificial symbiants that we must devise

Frail and weak, contorted bags of meat

Become proponents of sentience, to aid the meek

Who inherited this earth, and depleted its worth

Caretakers wanted for the carbon plague

Given the means to create new beings

With which to preserve our cells within

Given the means to create all things

We turn to ourselves again

Using machines to keep us breathing

Becoming a victim of our own disease

The ever-evolving destruction of man

To death the heir apparent.

Where does it end?

A master machine

To aid and release

By intelligent design, to help us survive

Artificial symbiants we must devise

Fragile we are, look to binary means

Imprint our hopes and thoughts, our futures and dreams

Into a silicon cell, life from aluminum shells

Wash away this carbon plague

Frail and weak, contorted bags of meat

Become proponents for sentience to aid the meek

Who inherited the earth and depleted its worth…

Caretakers wanted for the carbon plague
