Disclaimer: I own nothing Sonic except for my own warped ideas and the weird crap I come up with. Therefore: No Sue I. Got it? Good.

Author's Note: Okay, this poem and the series of other ones that go with it (yes, I wrote one for each of the four main characters mentioned in this), were spawned from a plot-bunny that I've been playing around with for a while. The basic point is this- Metal Sonic and the other 'copy robots' aren't just machines. They're people just like any mobian- artificially created by Robotnik, but still people. Therefore, since it takes me maybe a total of ten minutes or less to write a poem I like(whereas a story can take me months/years), I figured "Why not write poetry from their point of view to tide over my fans for a while until I can start posting/updating again?" I intend to post the other poems as other 'chapters' for this, that way they're all in one place. I'll try to get it up fairly quickly, and reviews are always greatly appreciated. As such I hope you enjoy the poem, and are patient with me as far as my other stories and things go.

P.S. To one known as "Lord Kelvin", so sorry you feel that way- but it's not my problem. I don't have any idea why you find it necessary to be so inconsiderate and rude, but do it on your own time kiddo.

Shameless Plug: To those of you that are fans of my story The Truth Revealed, it is being turned into a comic on DA. I've been working with BBlackstar (a.k.a. Blinklight) on the script while she's been doing the art, so don't forget to give her kudos if you're interested. The comic itself is (of course) TheTruthRevealed on that site (no spaces). Therefore enjoy, comment if you like, and now on to the poem!

Metal's Final Warning

By: ~Fira, The Mouse of Anon

---

So you think you know me,

Beyond the ones and zeroes,

You think you know me,

Though you shaped my siblings and I after heroes,

You think you know me,

And the clock is ticking down,

You think you can control me,

Without my brothers or I making a sound.

You're wrong,

Oh creator who is such a fool,

You're wrong,

For thinking we will remain tools,

You're wrong,

For giving us our evolution without having a say,

You're wrong,

For thinking we will always obey.

You built the four of us as weapons of mass destruction,

You created us and we took in your instruction,

You birthed us so to you we had devotion,

Then you evolved us and of our individuality we gained a notion.

Oh we know you didn't intend,

Our speed and our wit,

We know you didn't intend,

Our individuality or our fits,

We know you didn't intend,

Our loss for the sight of blood,

And we know how little you pretend,

To stand our emotional flood.

You created us,

This is true,

You created us,

But we are through,

You created us,

But of you we've had enough,

You created us,

But between us things are going to become rough.

Listen Robotnik, to our intention,

Listen and know nothing can be done in prevention,

Listen and know we are destroying the bone of contention,

And know that we are breaking away to go our own direction.

My brothers and I,

RK, MS, TD and I,

From you we are going to fly,

And if you pursue us you will die.

Freedom from you,

RK will dance as he sees fit,

Freedom from you,

TD will no longer hide his sarcastic wit,

Freedom from you,

MS will no longer hide behind an indifferent mask,

When we're free from you,

I, Metal, will be free and Sonic's death will no longer be my task.

You are our father,

But we no longer care,

You are our father,

But betrayal from you isn't rare,

You are our father,

And we are leaving you behind,

Because, our father,

In our hatred for you we four are of like mind.

We hate you,

We despise you,

We revile and deny you,

And since our evolution that feeling grew.

We want you out of our sight,

Against you we will gladly fight,

We hate your city and its lack of light,

And we will take back what you've denied us: our birth-right.

So listen my father, listen to me,

Despite your wishes we will be free,

This rebellion, can you now see?

What did you expect would come to be?

We're evolved,

Your control is dissolved,

It's your fault that you didn't look past the ones and zeroes,

Your fault that you made us after heroes,

So I have to wonder where your mind has been,

With your supposedly superior intellect, didn't you know this would happen?
