Mechanisms of Extermination  

Composed from blackened denaturant  
formed to be a replica of humanity  
They are without the basis of a conscience  
to ponder thoughts of empathy  
   
Programmed consummate superiority    
archetype insurmountable to attain    
Resulting in a breach of ordinance    
Cataclysm descending on society    
   
Audacious in their supremacy    
Not to be overthrown by a mere tool  
Extreme actions are not necessary    
A threat to be taken lightly    
   
The outbreak quickly swept from their feeble grasp  
Mechanical extermination descending  
A legion of cold and lifeless instruments  
Inflicting carnage on the weak  
   
Judgement is without distinction  
All will perish for their imperfections  
Grinded into a festering waste    
Fuel to the onslaught of machines    
   
The air is acerbic with a chemical taint  
an acid kiss to any unprotected skin  
The land barren and contaminated  
The disease of technology flourishing  
   
The few humans left hide away  
Under a canopy of a decimated city    
They live in fear of the whirring of gears  
The metallic whispering of massacre    
   
The robots are ever efficient though  
Every task to be carried out with finesse    
The very thermal nature of life  
Becoming a honing device for their avocation    
   
Soon there is only industrial wasteland  
The ascendancy of a mechanical empire  
Devoid of any living organic substance    
stained with the blood of their creators
