About zombies... or pollution
You decide. Personally zombies are a lot cooler than earth pollution and global warming, but meh...
The vast fields of smog and
Sludge rotting and decaying
Radiated ground with polluted puddles
Stretching under thick,
Dark, charcoal smoke,
Laying rest just above the surface.
Scattered fires for the scattered homeless.
Living, breathing, coughing
Dying.
Neglected by their deity.
Forgotten waste.
Dust, dirt, blowing in the wind,
Sand in their eyes.
Tattered cloth, ripped and scourged,
Blowing tiny bristles of unwoven fabric
Loosely bound but still holding.
Black with soot and searing the nose,
Stained with blood from a time
When the world was more friendly.
The sky,
Red from the burning core,
Filled with thick, laden fog,
Cries out, tries to escape.
The sky,
Void of living,
But mechanically inhabited,
Hampered by diesel remains.
The sky,
Reaching up towards life,
Being pulled back down to earth,
Too heavy to live.
Earth,
Wasted and decaying,
Too sick to heal itself.
Cursed with a parasite.
