Why?
Why the hell not?
If I were a giant robot, I'd stomp cars and buildings, bridges and parks.
Indiscriminately.
I'd have flame throwing arm attachments and I would set fire to the world.
But I would be made of metal.
Great, fireproof, metal and I would not burn.
I would stand in the cinders.
Stare down at the ashes.
And laugh.
Laugh at the chaos.
Laugh at the panic.
Laugh at the re-birth of whatever survives.
All debts erased.
All polo shirts, all skiing trips
All homes, all jobs, all comfort.
Gone.
"What do you have now?" I would bellow through the land.
"Survival! Life!" I would answer.
And when the world started surviving,
I would lay my gigantic body beside mountains, and sleep.
Let the world reclaim me. Cover me in dust and trees.
I'd destroy the world beautiful.
