Waste Machine

One gigantic waste machine chews up the land, Chews up human beings into moonscape, Plowing all the atoms into ethereal distortions Of one long violent scream of man against man, And man against nature, and man Against nature's God. That madness begun by Lucifer continues: Cains and Lamechs and Nimrods bragging Amid poolos of blood and in the dark streets, Setting up their idols and on the plains Again and again into ruins on top of ruins On top of ruins, present and future decay! Sin plagues the land: That ancient rebellion of man To become his own god, to know All things apart from the Creator God Goes on and on and Sin plagues the land.
