Supercilious creature looks on
With eyeless disinterested stare.
Refusing to meet the viewer's gaze
Artificial muscles threaten space
Black bronze sheen pure machine
Contrasting with viewer's living warmth
Potent snout under curved skull
No vulnerability in this metal shell
Existing only to intimidate viewer's mind
Once looming over all it surveyed
Proud to rape and plunder, with efficient virility
Demonstrating earth and human fragility
Now left castrated by artist's horror of war
Itself caught in the destruction torn limb from drill
Left impotent for the viewer's judgement
Hard torso emphasises open curved chest cavity walls
Emphasising soft shaped tiny humanity within
Proudly, gently, cupping viewer's subservience
