Twenty-First Century Wonder

Iridescent against sand and stone 
Lies and battle cries
California fields sundered and sterile
Networks of new wars 
Hungry feed the gas lamps and hollow 
Walls and eyes
Eye circles of influencers and titans in free fall
Self-defining nano gods rush to the cistern, dry as bone 
Breathe deep pregnant age 
Show us now our modern home
