Premium Member Ten to Ninety
There is no reason to die except An intent to be born again Considering this, we are living dead Why don’t we remember it then Scientists say that we use only About ten percent of brain cells The other ninety must feel a bit lonely They can’t show up anything else But a passive presence, or maybe not Entirely passive, the scientists say But nobody...

Premium Member Thoughts of a living dead
Thoughts of a living dead People think that we are dead, we are ended and our souls passed away from the earth. That doesn’t cover the truth. Reality is finer Better and noble, much more practical in life In life, from life, of life, and… to life. Our lives Our lives are our ‘Life is life’ in an extended life In an...

The Living Dead
The Living Dead Life is but a shadow rain or shine, A masquerade, and a trick of the mind. A life unspoken, a heart turned to stone, I’m moving my body, but my spirit is gone. Sunshine and smiles but darkness inside My smile seems hollow-no light within Dreams twist and tangle, like braids in a bundle Laughter that howls- like the wind...

LIVING DEAD - OUR KUSH BROTHERS
They are shadows of a forgotten world Drifting through the remnants of life Eyes clouded by the haze of Kush Skin and teeth, a canvas of decay and despair. Shoulders slump beneath tattered rags Swollen limbs move with a sluggish grace Their steps, slow and aimless As if searching for a heartbeat lost in the dark. No warmth lingers in their...

ZOMBIE LAND
Before my open, prying eyes Is desolation in disguise. But still, I find with no surprise The living dead beyond demise. Zombies out of mortuary Between me and sanctuary. I do what is necessary To avoid my cemetery. Damnation in my damn nation. Cause unknown - no explanation. Survival - preoccupation Regarding this, abomination. Surrender? I will not allow Myself arrival to its bow. Scenarios until right now... Staying alive...

A Living Dead I'm
?? A Living Dead I'm ?? ©?Abdul Qudus Olamilekan Yisa. --------------------------------------------------------------- Like an appearance of a full moon's fall, the light of her love illuminated my heart, in the presence of no light, which was once nightfall. and like a grumble of a thunder, it awakens my feelings and weakens my lion's heart. She made me tasted the sweetness of love, and me,...

The living dead
My time of death I don't quite know, I'm still breathing but I was gone long ago. Locked in the casket of a broken mind, If I go any deep I'm afraid of what I'll find. The skeleton of what I was was is gone a, corpse of the lost me at every new dawn....

She gets high on suicide Cos that’s the aphrodisiac Running through her veins At some point soon She’ll hear that tune Pushing her nearer To her doom The note is already in her head Recited from the living dead Goodbye world It’s time to go I never had a chance But don’t feel sorry for little me Cos this is the day I finally see Maybe next time...

A vast multitude adorn in dregs purloining, Fashionable filth clocked with piety, Showmanship on sacred alters, Multitude of compromised public orators. Fair formalities of professors void of sincerity, A subtle subversion of ancient landmark. As scandalous abomination alters this call, The affinity of sheep and the goats, While men slept, a mixture of poison, Clerics of...

Living Dead Girl
In a place many others often dread Near the hollowed trees, and the haunted seas She glides along the tumbledown cemetery Deep down knowing those who are no longer living Through bones remain, aren’t even truly dead She’s Halloween even in winter’s fresh fallen snow In the darkness where she dwells, you can hear the requiem bells With the slip...

Beware the Living Dead
From my window, darkness was quickly descending. Costumed creatures were walking about, pretending to be goblins and ghosts, expecting me to be scared and totally freaked out, for which I was not prepared. I'd been warned about evil spirts on Halloween night, and vampires rising from coffins to give my neck a bite, but no one had cautioned me, "Beware the...

Premium Member Hallowed Eve of the Living Dead
I approach the hallowed eve of the living dead With spooky awareness of impending doom, Accompanied by intense feelings of mortal dread. I can’t get creepy silhouettes out of my head Mirrored in ugly scenes of descending gloom, I approach the hallowed eve of the living dead. Halloween finds me walking toward my bed, Hosts of wretched creatures entering my room Accompanied by...
