A Reapers Machine

Hot white harvest 
a bone dry land 
years have been spent building 
this reapers Machine on desolate Sand 
American madness 
An empire of a dream, dark 
start the towers gleaming. 
Reaching into open sky as ravens 
gather to blackened
out a sapphire sky 
reapers machine 
Dead at last
Among the shafts of wheat 
there in it’s rusted stance, 
Headlights broken dead eyes stare
Light nova’s off shattered glass 
shown bright like Sunbursts 
on the Fields of barley and rye 
A Machine built on the backs 
of the damned 
enslaved 
Lost and insane in distant summers ago 
rains hide far over the mountain range 
White horizon seam 
hot white sands
A bone brittle days
years have come to pass 
the machine of man derelict at last
on these brutal wind swept lands 
American empires of madness 
dream of a reapers machine
Dead in its last stance. 
Eyes vacant gleam, 
under a harsh yellow sun
Among the fields of wheat and barley…
