Zombie Attack (Narrative Poem) - Pt2
Cowardice or acceptance?
Within high walls, securing and protecting
From those beasts out there, their voice still projecting
The call of terror and death it came to be
Whenever it sounds, death was guaranteed
It sent shivers down the young and old alike
Death is never discriminate; we are all alike
Everyone huddled for warmth and comfort
All thinking “if not them, then its the hunger”
Trapped, with a simple wall separating
The living from their fate. Isn’t it just infuriating
The life we’re forced to lead in this forsaken land
Where the dead are rampant and forever expand
For now, let’s relax and later disband
--
As I awoke, I heard the call
The call of death was deafening to all
Fear swept around like a trawl
I quickly gathered things and readied to haul
Then I saw torso of a beast in a crawl
Those next to me were shocked and appalled
I quickly cocked the gun and its brains I sprawled
I run outside to have a look and I bawled
“The beasts are in, spilling in over the wall!”
All I see is brawls, and the beasts, they maul
I did what I could. I did my best to forestall
But I won’t survive, if any longer I stall
--
Goodbye everyone, my duty is complete
All to their own now. It’s time to retreat
There’s nothing else to do. An impossible feat
To compete with numbers so high and actually beat
Courage rendered obsolete
In front of unrelenting defeat.
