Zombies

Zombies

She left her head in the town
Look at her headless body floating in sky
She said the day is cruel and rude
But the night is her neighbour
I saw her skeletal brain sipping blood like 
a juice
 With her maggot-infested teeth charing 
babies
Dusting the flesh from the bone
With her arrogant claws crying for more
If you think she is a devil because she has 
lived in hell
Watch! Your intestines shall be her next 
meal
Last night, i saw her devouring the state 
law
Defending the rights of her fellows zombies
She is outraged at the system
Zombies got no rights, said the jurists
Well, now the ghosts are in town
Defending their rights
Ravaging and feasting on the government 
heads
Clawing and clubbing bodies
Eating in the pool of human blood
A harvest of carnibal
A harvest of anger
We are not the Maya
We are the zombies
We are fictions
We are real
Watch, as i east on your flesh tonight
