Industry
Modern industry
with its loud sounds
heralding
the temporary triumph
of the machine.
Pumps sucking
tools clanging
liquids flowing
fossils burning
electricity charging
materials degrading.
Bolts and nuts joining
frenetically
in a technological orgy
in which their metalic climaxes
emanate chemical fluids
that once liberated
pollute our world
chocking our lungs
giving us products
to fill our empty souls.
Fuel for engines
that power our thrust
through
our inexorable path
driven
in quiet desperation.
