“Who scouts through wilderness and cold
And finds the stone that turns to gold,
The gems of Nature's wealth untold--
The Engineer.
Who gets five paltry plunks per day
To give the thing he finds away
To some one else who makes it pay--
The Engineer.
Who's heart is always in the game,
When trouble comes it's just the same,
But when it comes, who gets the blame?
The Engineer.
- Robert Elmer Horton (Water Power and Water Supply Preliminaries, 1913, Michigan Engineer)”

“Silicon and Sapiens (The Sonnet)
Once upon a time,
I put down my soldering iron
and picked up the keyboard,
for I couldn't afford to sustain
my passion for electronics any more.
But now that I look back,
It was for the best.
The world has plenty tech genius,
what it lacks is reformer scientist.
My inside awareness of machine intricacies
has been an aid to my neuroscience.
In a world torn between mind and machine,
I bridge the shores of silicon and sapiens.
Biologists often diss the potential of machine,
just like gadgeteers are oblivious to life.
Life is a cosmic miracle, machines are a human one,
and with added purpose, machines could be
the mightiest defense of life.”
