Now they are coming to dominate
And declare war to the world
Infection is spreading
Like a cancer through the globe
Marching like soldiers they come
Starving for blood no fear
Burn, kill and destroy are their song
Flesh is all the need now
Zombies are coming
Eviscerating
Bloodshed on the streets
This is the Dawn of the Dead
Forward we march to survive
With blood and anger they rise
We hold secure in the hide
Weapons and strength to fight
When all is done forever
We walk the earth again
Forever hungry and moving forward.
Always & forever! Thanks Fia.
When other kids where obsessed with Star Wars or whatever, I was a total nerd for the Dead films. I didn’t wanna be Han Solo, I wanted to be Ken Foree’s character in Dawn. Started smoking cigars way too early because a that damn movie….bad influence! And I loved it!! Something about the zombie that strikes an internal, inherently human chord in ways that most other horror caricatures cannot. Almost an “uncanny valley” vibe that rivals vampires. Good stuff, bud.
Thanks man. Appreciate the feedback and your story. I also agree with you..I disliked Star Wars as a kid and I truly despise it now.
Powerfully penned, Keith. Excellent write my friend. Romero was a master of making zombie films. Appreciate you.

Romero was also a master in social commentary. If you read between all he horror & gore, he has a distaste for the military & government. Thanks Damian.
I don’t like zombie movies, but I love your poem, dear Keith! It’s hauntingly beautiful and excellently written!
Thank you dearest Elke. I love that you love my poem. You rock…xox
