Notes About The Poem

The Zombie Apocalypse

(“I of the Beholder”, 2014, original pen and ink)

 The Zombie Apocalypse 

The zombie apocalypse began a long time ago 
First as a slow burn 
As it spread friend to friend, town to town
A mind virus contagion
Hiding itself within a politically correct smile
But now a full-on raging blaze
Crowning as it leaps and jumps
Rivers and mountains, continents really 
In its global conflagration 
Spread not by bites and infected saliva
But by bytes of an infecting propaganda 
Once called fake news, now fatal news
Fatal to reason, and friendships, peace of mind
And a healthy future
Eating away from inside
Until all that is left is a shell 
With yet another zombie hidden safely within
The zombie apocalypse began a long time ago
But only now is it obvious
Its course a long way from run
