No Escape From Zombies

GangstaZombie

Based on World War Z by Max Brooks

Crouching low, my best pal and I,

Creep through brush and stone.

Looking on safe places to hide,

I'm just glad I'm not alone.

We halt- we hear a scrape,

A rattle… and then a moan…

If we escape with our lives

We'll never again be home.

We move as silently as we can,

As swiftly as we dare,

Just as we turn the corner,

We receive a hellish stare-

Disgusting flesh decomposing

With eyes a sickly milky white

Without a simple minded thought

This creature does soon try to bite.

Blindly, we're up and running

Back the way we came-

A sickening snapping crack and

My friend recoils in pain.

What a time to twist his ankle

The last mistake he ever made.

Countless lunging zombies

Suck all hope from his escapade.

Just one chomp and its all over;

Even if he escapes someway;

Infection will claim him…

So I have need to sprint away.

The moonlight upon his bloody face

As flesh is ripped from bone,

Never again will he make a sound

Forget finding a safe zone.

The darkest day in my life

I see no way to evade

A hideous death or

A new zombie will be made.

They have simply overrun

All I had ever known.

My entire life, gone in two days-

And now I'm all alone.
