Modern Vampires

I heard the ground being heaped upon the coffin 
the sound  like hail echoed in my ears
fools, don’t they know I cannot die?
I’m one of the undead that walk the lands

I can still taste the sweet crimson liquid
and the piece of flesh between my teeth
she was young and tender and I wanted more
thats the reason I was caught 

These foolish peasants place garlic round 
their houses and hang up crosses thinking
that will deter our insatiable hunger
they fail to understand we are the chosen ones

Years ago when man first walked this earth it
was us that gave rise to mankind by taking those
who proved to be unworthy and made the others safe
now these contaminated people rule the earth

It is up to us to once again revive our long held
struggle to rid those who are unclean but sometimes 
we may take some innocence ones for we must
also have nourishment to continue our quest

We now have rockets and bombs and people in power
that will aid us in destroying those who stand in our way
be it chemical or H bombs we will move ahead as
long as the corporations support us.

Vijay Pandit March 4, 2018 at 5:18 PM Your message comes through loud and clear Carlos..modern day vampires are ruling! Great poem, Carlos. Lunita Blanca April 27, 2018 at 1:17 PM Thanks Vijay. I don't believe we have enough stakes to drive them into their hearts.

Anne-Lise Andresen March 4, 2018 at 2:51 PM - "now these contaminated people rule the earth" and they have too much power ... scary, Carlos - Very well written - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Lunita Blanca March 4, 2018 at 4:55 PM Yes, and we keep supporting them by listening to their lies.
