Stand in line, and don’t be heard.
Don’t blink, don’t talk, and don’t hum a word.
Sorted by color, black and white
we don’t know who’s done wrong, or who’s done right.
Standing on a conveyor belt – one, two, three,
we await our doom, whatever it may be.
Suddenly, a laser transforms us all,
and filled with weakness, we begin to fall.
CRASH! To the floor, we fall, black and white
with no one to aid us in our plight.
Looking down at my hands, I cannot even scream
for my lungs are now a motor, running on steam.
My body is metal, shiny and red
but my heart inside me is still not dead.
We glare around the room in anger and hate
wondering how long we’ll have to wait.
A king and a queen, smiling bright,
welcome us all and turn on the lights.
They tell us all that we’re now The Borgs
fighting for justice, avoiding the morgue.
They tell us to assimilate, to join their collective,
but King and Queen don’t know that their plan is defective!
We’re fighting for justice, to make the world free
and to save our future, don’t you see?
I may now be a Borg, but I’ll never give in,
I’ll right all the wrongs, and free this place of sin.
We’ll fight for justice across the desolate Earth,
and I’ll roam with my laser in search of my worth.
All I know is that I won’t give in,
I will not conform to the “Borg Collective”.
Even if I have to be destroyed,
and my metal is sent to the deep, black void.
You will not last, King and Queen,
We will destroy you, wait and see!
Author notes
Crystal, Bryce, your rein will not last forever! lol (I hope your relationship does though)
FYI Cyborg Justice had to have been one of the most pimp Sega Genesis games EVER made. Still can't beat it though.

lol thanks! it's honestly not that hard, especially if you like what you're writing about. it really just wrote itself. and it's funny how the whole storyline of that game fit perfectly to this contest; Bryce and Cryssie wanted us to assimilate; the Borg king in the game tries to kill all the bots and they have to defeat him to save the Earth's future! I think I'm gunna go play it now lol. I've never beat it lol
