"Torque"
by
W.B. Vogel
Twisted semblance, wrenched
Flesh formed around
Cold steel bones
Engine grinding, hatred burning
Like gasoline
Angry machine
Monster, anomoly
Of alloy and living rage,
Immortal
Always hungry, bloodthirst--
Predilection for pain,
Symphony of screams
Dull grey pallor, glimmer
Of blood in the moonlight,
Snarling teeth
Smashed recollections, broken
Epitaph forgotten--the turning
Of Time's wheels buries it all
No eulogy except the machine's roar,
Torque
Grim apparatus, bestial device
Living to kill
Industrial strength, blood and grease
Staining metal--ravenous design
Systema, mechanized aggression
Executed with zero tolerance
Conclusion, silent as the grave
Torque.
