"The Machine Demands Snackrifices"
The machine constantly demands sacrifices -
As more and more people are sacrificed -
Bloody turning cogs -
For genocide. For land. For resources.
It is volatile and blood-thirsty.
Even many sacrifices will not satisfy the machine.
It demands consistent sacrificial lambs.
