On Hallows' Eve

On Hallows' Eve a party was planned,
requiring music and a Zombie Band.


You want a song for the party
is what you said,
but that's not the tune
playing in my head,
No! It’s a solemn dirge
for the walking dead.

The spirits lost though
freed from the grave.
They are worse than dead,
now, they're totally enslaved
by a master, who,
was handsomely paid,

to dose them with drugs,
a poisonous brew;
so they'd appear dead,
to the likes of me and you,
buried and hidden
from our view.

It's not a party
he's planning you know.
Tonight he will wake them
then take control,
of an army of men
who have no soul,

sent to wreck havoc
as the music plays,
while we dance and frolic
on our little stage,
we'll become the victims
of an evil mans slaves.

So, harken the darkness,
as it slowly falls,
in the vine covered jungle
where the spider crawls,
where the moon breaks the fog
and the werewolf calls.

You want a song for the party,
is what you said,
but that's not the tune
playing in my head;
it's a solemn dirge,
for the walking dead.

    gotta say this one had me grinning. I truly do enjoy reading your work. Once again excellent job. An interesting topic I think. You did well by not trying to go with scarey... I thought of this as more funny. Good job.

    I agree with the commentor below. That
    was my favorite line as well. The rhythm
    worked well to.
    Good luck in the contest, and thanks
    for viewing my entry.

    very poetic this. =) I like the sslow steady march of these phrases and images. moody interpretation. Also, the underlying message of being controlled by one's addictions is clear and strong. well-written, this. =)
