Caesar’s Next Campaign

A monstrosity stretches

Fire up to the teeth 

Back in the clergy of the underworld

All it took was two calls

A lick of road work 

While collecting cries in a plastic bottle 

The machine rumbles in your face 

A blueprint fueled and funded 

Finely tuned for war 

Drilling everything 

Escape plans

Stalking from the high ground 

The priest chants 

In the morning there will be an ambush 

From a thousand sides 

It’s no fun when the rabbit’s got the gun 

Picked a fight with something hollow 

Now a black hole rains down 

Drowning out the last paltry flowers of joy 

Perhaps it was a loud secret 

Or chicken brains were at fault 

But now the terms of service are up

Someone should’ve dealt the message 

There is a repo man from across the world

Here in every trench
