Conflux Of Man And Machine

Chained to times of lingering doom

The radiation goes echoing down for centuries

Mankind awakes from the ashes of a cannibalistic barbaric society

The humans are blind to the robotic mayhem above

Execution droids hover over the now desolate city ruins

In search for prey. As the human scouts hunt for resources they

Discover the mechanical he'll that waits

They witness body movers cleansing the wasteland of

Littered corpses. Human cadavers are scattered throughout

The radiation-infected earth. The pack splits up.

As the head scout departs an assassin guts him from behind

Blades impale him at the waist and rip up

Through the shoulder and spine

Blood and entrails spill out as the

Human shell falls limp to the earth

Another human is sifting through he radiation when

Infrared optical sensors hone in on the prey

Actuators grip then crush the skull

Cranial matter slides down the titanium frame

Creating a pool of jellified brains and blood

At the tripod base of the assassin

The few surviving humans retreat into the subterranean dens

The tribe begins constructing weapons made of stones

Sharpened human bones, and metal scraps

They prepare for war
