Fossil Fuels

I wonder
How many dinosaurs I have set aflame 
In my internal combustion engine

​

Apex predators
Massive, roaring beasts
Claimed the land as their own

​

Each heavy footfall a declaration
Of supremacy,
Of reptilian prowess.

​

Ha.

​

My gas-guzzling monster eats the glorified chickens for breakfast

​

Gasping with power
It demands Earth plowed and paved

​

Cement and gravel taking shape
Of the emperor’s new throne.
