Harvesting Humans

Nuclear warheads detonate overhead

Salted hydrogen bombs designed to destroy

Mutually assured destruction

Bodies incinerate in the initial blast

Building structures collapse into rubble

Firestorms burn through cities

And forests emitting vast amounts of smoke, soot

And dust into the troposphere

Driven by whirlwinds to form a black particle

Cloud belt encircling the northern hemisphere

The clouds block out the suns light causing

Surface temperatures to plunge to subfreezing levels

High doses of radiation kill off the earth's vegetation and animal life

Hazardous radioactive fallout in every continent

Toxic radiation lingers for decades

The surviving humans retreat into underground fallout shelters beneath the

Ruins

Soon all food rations are depleted

The starvation triggers chaos and killing

The weak killed off and eaten raw

Children and elders ripped limb by limb

Until they devise a systematic way to feed

Women are isolated and impregnated

Raising their infants like cattle

They're kept in cages made of human bones

Harvesting humans, slaughtered by hand

Skins are stretched, dried and used as clothing

Organs and meat dispersed amongst the tribe

Everything mankind has built up to has been

Reduced to a barbaric, cannibalistic society
