Growing

You've come before this Court of ours
the highest in the World
To ask approval of a plan
which you will now unfurl

You say the Specimens you've grown
in Laboratory tests
Can think  and walk, and utter sounds
know when to sleep and rest?

You want to put them on their own
to see how they survive
How long it takes them to advance
but can they stay alive?

The place you've chosen for this test
a thousand years away
Has all the elements for life
so you shall have your way

Request is granted by this Court
prepare for this rebirth
Take them now, and for all time
to the New World, we call Earth
