Undesired Immortality of Vampires

Call it problematic or fortuitous 
my situation of continuous evolution 
created many difficult moments,
finding food sources, young fresh blood,

immortality started in fourteen sixty one
seduced by feminine Beauty, initiated
into dark duties of nocturnal predators,
unable to end this undesirable existence,

so many changes through endless years
lifestyle, language, dress sense and diet,
blood to vampires wasn't essential just desired
especially fresh young sweet flavoured plasma,

now in the twenty first century being a vampire
though still undesirable there are easy pickings
due to mankind's carefree attitude towards others,
humans lack of decency is a vampires utopia.



Composed on 30th September 2017.
for contest form V- verse me a poem,
Sponsored by Broken Wings.
