Suicide Silos

Out where the durum wheat grows to
Mill into our daily loaves, not far away
From the fields of waving bounty, reside
Metal gods deep in the plains, modern-
Day trolls armed for war. We never see
These secretive metal deities for whom
We tithe our taxes to house in pricey
Subterranean cathedrals radiant with the
Latest high-tech comforts. In return, their
Keepers, our missileteers, vow to keep us
Safe. Alas, these are false gods heralded
By false prophets. They promise only ashes
For us, omnicide, a day of suicide for all.
Dread the hour our silos vomit false gods.
