Laid motionless Cold, brutal and cruel Life ceased Brought to life With compression and heat Living and breathing It pulls with unearthly torque Able to break an I-beam Compression helps it speak Exhaust translates the sound Open throttle Let it scream Twin turbos join in A high pitched scream 26 psi thrown down the cylinders 9,000rpm and 950 hp Let off Back it down A Cummins V-8 heard through town Ready for another shakedown.

How many wars have been fought for it? Why were there wars fought over it? It’s killing us It’s killing me Why do other religions hate other religions? How do we all survive?
