“The Icarian Impulse by Stewart Stafford

With fruit of the knowledge tree,
We took a bite from our world,
Gaining serpent's destructive kiss,
Malicious shortcuts paved "good."

The shock setting of a precedent,
Akin to committing bloody murder,
Shedding the skin of equilibrium,
As a lethal new dawn descends.

Promethean self-replicating beings;
Sacrilegious idols mirror our image,
Synthetic, unsympathetic sentience,
Masochistic puzzles of self-immolation.
