The Plague!
The night of the living dead....
Bolted doors and boarded windows
Pressing hands, from room to room
Looking for a breech toward entrance
The shallow cracks, that shall allow them in
Into the hallways, within the darkness
Trying to survive, beyond another night
The night that falls, upon every child
Born in the shadows, of these darkened times
Trapped and afraid, deep inside
These bolted doors and boarded windows
Trying so desperately, their souls, to survive

The Plague!
