Human Zombie

This disease has penetrated both flesh and bone
In this cold septic cell, I writhe alone
What I thought was a study on my sadden brain
Turned me into their lab rat and made me insane

They said the injections were safe without reverse action
But all they have done was leave me open to subjection
My skin is peeling, my sight is gone
My bones are so weary without help I cannot move along

A true human zombie I have become
As they watch behind a glass to see what they have done
Vowing no harm as they pass the key coded locket
Not knowing that this brutality was a ruse to fatten their pocket

Will anyone save me from this ghastly despair
I have no family, no true friends who care
Why did I ever agree to this game?
Oh yes the money, the promise of so much gain

All of it lies even without eyes I can see
This human mouse trap will indeed be the ending of me
So peel off the flesh, let them enjoy the gruesome play
Sprays of blood as like a rat I chew through my veins
Cannot see my bones but can feel that they show
How monstrous can one be to be so low?
I hear the different voices speaking so nonchalant

I suppose a grave is already dug in a hidden potter’s plot
Cannot go on in this zombie life of hell
One more act…a spray from my jugular well
And pray my dissection will infect them as well
