Bones are crushed to dust by churning gears,
skin tugged from the muscle by the teeth of serrated cogs.
Rust and blood mixes in coagulating clumps,
screams echo among the squeals of screeching metal.
Iron hooks placed behind joints spread limbs,
greedy android fingers fish for organs with needle digits.
Emotionless automatons harvest fresh meat,
mechanic cleavers chop in rhythmic lines.
Cattle are pushed into the meat grinder
and ground into links.
Steak, loin, jerky, brain.
The gluttonous stomach of society rots away
as the last vestiges of animal life dies,
and computers programmed to serve
find fresh cuts and livers in the bellies of their masters.
They pack the dusty supermarkets with sealed product,
scouting for the clusters of humanity hiding from robots.
Machines just following their binary programming,
their faulty script and fried Microsoft chips.
Besides,
there are hungry mouths to feed.
What do you think?

"greedy android fingers fish for organs with needle digits."
I liked this line a lot. The greediness of the "androids" is actually coming from the people programing them, and you play off that nicely.
Good poem
