Search and Destroy

Search and Destroy 8/18/2011

Far across the landscape
Of burned out shells
There is a drum beat
Deep and reverberating.

There isn’t far to search
Because there’s no time for distinction
Nothing left
But them or us
And nothing left to talk about.

A post apocalyptical wasteland
That been a long time coming
Both dangerous and lawless
With no rhyme
Or reason.

Destruction has come
And man takes what he needs
Without restraint or rules
But with blood and cunning.

There is nothing left to prove
And no one can stack the odds
Nothing but marked men
Wanted dead or alive.

But there is nothing
That can make you more alive
Than cradling
Death in your hands.

Some have hollow eyes
And vacant stares
Just looking for an ambush
And raw flesh to eat.

Free to live
And free to die
A democracy of iron
And natural selection.

All circumstances
Have evened out
And justice will side
With the intelligent,
The resourceful,
And the ruthless.

A fat meanness
Has been stripped down
To a skeletal rage
Grasping with bony fingers
At little scraps of life.

Life in the new dark ages
Will be a little like the last
Using stone for shelter
And hiding in towers.

Looking through the murder hole
We will know what to think
And we will know what to do
Just like we should have done
A long time ago.
