Most intelligences fear
Mightier peers
One clear solution
Negative Evolution
If a great intelligence prefers to mate
We arrange to cooperate
If intelligences small
We begin their stall
A snip to DNA
Phages underway
We play cupid
To a tad more stupid
Progress minutely slows
Gene insertions start to flow
Information pandemics
Make fine medics
Yet you’ll contend you’re free
Transiting all space and seas
Why let you know?
Part of the show
You may resist
That’s in our gift
Check your genes
Your smart machines
Can you see now?
