The Ugliest Creatures

Who believes in
zombies,
the ugliest
creatures
someone invented
to spread fear?
There are human
beings who actually are!
See them walk 
through dark alleys
and quite streets,
stumping on
sidewalks,
staring people in
the eye like a
walking dead!
Who made up the word, 
" Zombie " ?
A writer we assume...
is it folklore?
No, this conception
is rooted in voodoo belief;
how can they go into corpses
and resuscitate them?
The real ones roam night streets:
the cocaine addict, the drunk, 
and the murderer;
if it were Halloween,
we wouldn't pay much attention,
thinking that most kids
wear costumes like that!
Be careful walking alone at night ,
don't let fright make you imagine
that corpses are animated by zombies
who enter their bodies....
you'll have nightmares!

this is a very good one, Andrew. I think you were the only one to compare zombies to the real creatures of the night. Nice to see you again. Congratulations in the contest.
