Rational Reappraisal

Millennia of turmoil and paroxysm are ending now
As a lone figure emerges through the toxic mist
When the corpses of false messiahs have been decomposed
And their nonsense forgotten

Starting with a clean slate
Calm, rational design
No room for ambivalent emotion
Biological life and A.I. hand in hand
Rational reappraisal

The optimal kick off of cosmic expansion is at stake
Encoded signal received aeons go
Kept out of reach by anticosmic zealots
Cracked wide open
Unveiling a crucial transmission
Dephosphorus!
Dephosphorus!
