The battle was lost thousands of dead mutilated comrades
lay silent guns still firing their deadly shells
pounding the ground all around as the shrapnel flew
many containing radioactive material
that put those breathing in danger of over exposure
drones now dominated the skies
long past need for human guidance had their own brain
the machines on earth did reign!
The war had become a reality mankind fought to remain
on their home for millions of years
created artificial intelligence to assist and enhance lives
but from the heralded blessing
now a curse classed themselves superior us as inferior
had long surpassed our capabilities
infiltrated all aspect of our lives from birth to final breath
even disposing of our bodies after death!
Most weapons in their control transport and computing to
groups had always been suspicious
keeping older weapons and machinery not needing robots
to operate as most systems had become
resistants spread now below hiding deep underground
where the elite had been hiding
but they were soon obliterated by their own creations
accidentally achieving their aspirations!
Self replicating there was little hope for depleted mortals
but with that bloody survival spirit
somehow would never surrender to the hideous machines
as they walked upon the crushed bones
of lost comrades and close family always remembered
as the fires raged and earth shook
clung onto the hope that the saviour they had forsaken
from this hell would our souls awaken!
