He didn’t know what he was fighting.
He didn’t know what was beyond the walls.
He was naïve, still just a boy.
He didn’t know, couldn’t know–

I slammed my fist against the tree,
A sickening crack accompanied by an uncomfortable numbness,
Blood seeping from the places bark had dug into the skin.
I didn’t care, didn’t feel a thing.

He didn’t know, and because of his oblivion, he was dead.

They were horrid, and inhumanely cruel, and they were ruthless…
But they were powerful.
They proved to me that humanly morals didn’t matter worth heck;
The only thing that made any difference was power–

Power that they had, that we didn’t have.
Power that would decide our secret little war,
The war that many were ignorant to,
And that many more believed we were winning.

We weren’t; we couldn’t win.

We were flesh and blood; they were cold, indestructible metal.
We had hearts and minds; we made decisions for ourselves.
They had no heart, no thoughts of their own; they followed orders without question and without hesitation.
They didn’t rebel against their leaders; they worked with a terrifying perfection.

There was no way for us to win. We couldn’t.

He was only one of the boys we’d already lost, and they were only the first
Among a tidal wave of deaths, a wave that was soon to open up and unleash itself upon us.
We may have built them to help us, to fulfill our human needs,
But that wasn’t what they were going to do.

They turned long ago, and now there was no turning back.

He died, and now the rest of us would as well.
