Teardrops on the Fire, Fearless on My Breath

the giant robot elephant trampled
through the crowds and splattered
everyone that was in its way
it carried on trampling towards
its destiny and destination as its
huge metallic feet thumped and
bumped and left destruction behind
its exploding waves of manic fury and rage
a campaign of death and determination

when it finally stopped its revolt
the jackhammer surgeons and electrical engineers
found that all that had happened was
a crushing case of inconsequential chaos

And half the world away, people are dying in a revolution.
