/ For the Love of Metal

The lead coats the floor.

Mechanized destruction.

old gears worn by the work of ages.

quietly the steel pierces the stone

and the machinery walk alone

clanking and screeching their way onward,

walking with no friends

smiles light their way

beats of burden they are called

without a soul they are formed

years pass when steel outsells gold

still we progress and see the holes

bullets rain down as if gifts from heaven

machines walk no more

rats like people scavenge the ruins

walk along the skulls and shells
