Robot Zombies With Ghostly Appetites

For the last time I think I've escaped
Your gratutituous number munching
But then as quick as a high-def blink
I'm back in the barn with the cannibals

Flesh mongering mammals
With digits tied to mandibles
Trodding through robotic arenas
Without a finite-sniffing clue

Battery unplugged, feet pressed to rugs
They land proud on towels
Wondering about next meals
What deal could peel back some onion flesh?

Salamanders finance the change
Or simply rearrange the same
Tug boating at a new horizon
Still consuming ghosts and roaches till the end of time

Very descriptive one..I am wondering what kind of animal or bug is this one..Thanks for stopping by..Yes, the Levee breaking and the ensuing flooding at New Orleans was a horrible incident in our country..If you are from that area, how close are they to being back to normal?..Sara
