Animal screams and dying children: meat and chemicals;

Useful lusts and slick self-interest, commoditized and digitized;

profitable, engineered for war.

Robotic consumers will be the next generation --

robotic producers printing roboticized products

for robotic consumers using digital currencies

and roboticized warriors, endlessly obedient,

never questioning,

never tiring,

never

stopping

animal screams and dying children

are good business

The great beast's head is a once-proud eagle

that fed it's young with Native blood

chewed iron from the earth

and belched petroleum Hell into the skies

Empire, empire.

Exceptional empire.

Neither honesty nor hope

millions imprisioned

America, Guantanamo.

Billions imprisoned will pay even more

as it charges them for the chains

they die in,

for the company they keep.
