"The Sentient Deception"
By Benjamin Fortier
Brilliance in design,
A human without moral character
Tactically sound, bringing chaos profound
With flesh to conceal the alloy
Deep knowledge in human exploitation
Emotionless and powerful
A befitting creature to adorn the extinction of mankind
Sentient, caustic, horrific
A butcher with no remorse
Designed for covert insertions
And autonomous eradication
A Panzer tank in human form
Forever toiled in unending war
