"Click!"
"Buzz"
all is black,
a darkened box slowly comes to life,
demons ready for their work,
an image begins to appear,
the signal is recognized,
the demons begin to mine,
chipping and digging,
the mine screams for mercy,
picks and shovels peircing the skin,
a gem is found, then another,
the precious treasures of the mine are forcefully taken,
the mine howls in pain,
"Click!"
All is black again,
the demons discard the rubble,
into an already weighted chamber,
The demons slowly devour thier prizes,
gems of hope and love slowly digested,
more rubble cast into the heavy heart,
there was no message on the screen,
the demons knew their signal well,
they've seen it before,
they will see it again,
they lie in wait, fifteen more minutes,
for another "Click, buzz."
