Cogs Poems - Poems about Cogs


Silent Night
We remember That night of horror When the future was stamped and the cogs were slain When the execution ground shone red with blood The blood of the helpless cogs We remember the horrors Gunshots like fireworks The cries of cogs like wolves in the night As devil's favourite demons feed on raw flesh We remember the depressed winds The howling of the tortured...

New Year In the Gridding Cogs
I cannot think of the dead anymore nor travel far into the starry night. I recall everything in off-white detail; days are caught in grinding cogs. This past year, and this New Year are already ground-up as fine as any raw, marrow-minced hope, a dish that will be served tomorrow, but only as a takeaway as we drive through - mouths tight...

Cogs In the Wheel
You find in the slime of indecency The rotted hollow of an empty skull - A mindless mind allows redundancy Repeated repetitions till it's full.
