Bulloverdozed

tanks and crawler tractors stray under heavy rain

glimming spotlights shiver through alienated fog

echoes of rusty wheels and moaning engines

ponderous armored cars operate in a contaminated forest

demolition machinery

deconstruct and overthrow to bury remnants

toxic rubble - ionized ash

entire villages vanish at the dawn of atom dust

at the dawn of dust

bulldozed radioactive isotopes into mother earth

radioactive waste management

eviction instruments at chernobyl

near surface disposal in the trenches

clay barriers shield the environment

ensure that no trees will grow

on alienated corrupted ground

their roots would penetrate through man-made barriers

shovels as the blades that strike down the atom

buses from the factories of lviv

soviet bulldozers and trucks

demolition combat machinery

armored personell carriers

vehicles involved in the cleanup of the zone

became highly contaminated themselves

remain as lifetime monuments - to serve as soulless heir

lined up in a final appeal

in rassokha and buriakivka

vehicle cemeteries

their trails got lost - tire tracks disappeard

the torn fabric of memories

wrapped in soil and stuck in barbed wire

a fading glimpse of an outlandish world

seen from those the regime was forced to hire

scout robots and choppers with red stars upon side doors

rusty armored roadsters shape the slender rows

steel monsters equipped with blades and claws

dump! remove! show no remorse!

cremate heavy matter at the outskirt of pripyat

from where the administration fled and had left the spot

titan machinery - engines gave man their might

power always seeks to lose itself - to disappear
