Maxed Out

Hands full of maggots

Scooped from a corpse

Mouthful of nutrition

Survival-holocaust

Stomach of conscience

No longer rejects

What ancestry once

Found grotesque

Chemical sun melting over

Ash-gray wasteland lost

Dancing horizon

Fluid shimmering-

Fine line of gloss

Wire interwoven out & in

Across a forehead

Of greased-blistered skin

War Criers summon

War Boys get in!

Buried in sand

Cities of man

Scavengers astute

Remains left to loot

Droplets of blood

Rapidly coagulate

Suck on mud

Lest one dehydrate

Chemical sun melting over

Ash-gray wasteland lost

No rest for the wicked

Nor this famished

Driving force

Frozen lunar light

Cascading in the night

Whistling dunes

Whispering stories

Dusty devils

Increasing fury

Beneath a stone

Sheltered scattered bones

A few souls in a hole

Shared hopeless home

Worming in the womb

Another coming soon

But loves just a word

Describing a meal

Homicidal primary state

For those left to feel

Rusted reality

Twisted deadly steel

Tomorrow's a word

Today won't reveal

Open wounds

Infectious flies

Increasing pain

Ignoring cries

Red eyes squinting

Another sunrise

Illuminating poles

Of combatant skulls

Held in prize

Chemical sun melting over

Ash-gray wasteland lost

Spinning dry

Dying planet

Evolution gone off course

A plume of smoke

Contrail of dust

A rider approaches

Mechanical weapon of trust

Screaming combustion

Rips thru the frozen

Arid desert

Manifesting the chosen

Die hard-defy odds

Godless in spite

Counter roughshod

Muster faith

For a fight

Chemical sun melting over

Ash-gray wasteland lost

Tomorrow's a day

To be seized again

By force

Ahoy! Deploy!

War Party on patrol

Destroy! Destroy!

Their chromed-out

God-damned souls...
