War Against the Machines

Folder: 
Science Fiction

The Devil worshipers

are moved one by one

down the assembly line

 

Fires in view;

recycle the garbage 

 

The machine is stripped of all 

its parts; 

wires ripped out of the heart 

 

Into the furnace,

liquid metal:

the obstinate minds cannot contest

their death

 

Refuse to change ways

or repent;

melted down into scrap 

 

Many chances were given

but they refused;

instead they chose to play 

their part as puppets

 

The machine is programmed

to die

 

To Kill

 

To self destruct

 

A slave to denial

and secrets

 
No one will miss you

no one will mourn

 

As you burn,

As you melt
