Notes About The Poem

Fear the Walking Dead

Fear The Walking Dead

Moaning groaning growling too
they stumble in the night.
Looking for someone like you
so they can grab a bite.

Bumping up against the door
and peeking through the crack.
They no longer know the time
but want a midnight snack.

Heed the warnings that I give
listen to the words I said.
Lock your windows and your doors
and fear the walking dead.

Wearing clothes for every day
like night gowns ties or blazers.
Eyes are glowing in the night
and teeth as sharp as razors.

Scratching clawing at the glass
their back broken in two.
Just another day undead
they want a taste of you.

Running gunning fear inside
they gather in a bunch.
Today you're guest of honor
and they're having you for lunch.

Not safe in a school or church
not safe beneath your bed.
Lock your windows and your doors
and fear the walking dead
