For its crimes

The human condition, standing trial

In geological time

The scratch so far: barely perceptible

Cutting edge of moral philosophy

Moving concept of right or wrong

One might wish for assured stability

Attend the trial of the Sentient

Will this imperfect race

Be the first to document its own ascension?

Here is the Judgement delivered:

“Flawed as you are; the human brain is still the most complex thing in the known universe,

with the potential to further evolve into an immense intelligence."
