Notes About The Poem

The Living Dead

The living dead, think they’re alive Trapped in a fear prison Thoughts centred on wealth and sex drive Yet feel their soul’s risen Human form a facade In darkness they do plod Distanced from love and God By desires led The living dead 17-August-2022 Quietus

Such an inspiring write in your own Quietus form Seeker....so expressive of today's world where people are so much distanced from God and love...Have a blessed day... ~ Ani
