ZOMBIE by Maeve Ford
Time for a poetic interlude. Allow me a moment of fatherly pride as I post a poem by my daughter.
ZOMBIE
By Maeve Ford
They crawl down the street
with their broken feet
They moan and groan
with that look in their eyes
They're hunched over
with their arms dangling
The creepy crawling bodies
persevere even when fallen
Their souls ripped from their bodies
leaving the hungry demon all alone.
Their fingernails withered away
Something at your door trying to get in
Their hair is missing bits
Trying to get away
They never make it
It's always the same
Their blank expressions
Chew on the innocent
They're missing teeth
from their fights in the past life
They didn't ask for this
It just...happened.
