For the Dead

Realm of the walking dead is indeed vast

Their deathly dreams are big and just

They want to build their gilded castles

Amidst the slumber of their death


They walk around with those downcast eyes

Trying to find a cure for death

They sniff and grope to find their folks

To exchange their morbid stinking breath…


Deathly dreams and entombed lust

Fly around when they congregate

The oldest corpse among their guild

Rants and raves of warmth and fire


Incense and perfumes are thrown around

To mask the stink of walking dead

Fires of sandal are lit here and there

To mimic the warmth of living dreams


Out they came… the walking dead

With a plastic skin to mask the death

They felt happy with their new found smell

And went on to build their gilded tombs
