The Uprising

Thanks to Sean for adding your fine talents on this collaboration

 

The sun was a distant shadow of itself and the moon a dismal steel gray
and life as we knew it lay in debris and decay, yes, they say we are in
the final stages of fifth sun, a cosmic passage into a new light called the
sixth sun, but we are here to tell you what really happened in the year
2012, it was December 21st the day of the uprising!

We did not go softly into that bad night, there was no sixth sun
no new light, only eternal gloom and darkness on that doomsday.
Billions had perished, except for the strongest of the human race.
We are the new darkness, the new human race known as the uprising
We are the zombie nation that rules in the sixth light of the dark realm.

No government tells us what we can do; mere men no longer own this
world.They won't overthrow the zombie nation the new world as we
know it as we rule with a force beyond any precious known super powers.

We have the future in our hands and if by chance you have survived the
great astronomic event that occurred that fateful day, rest assured that
we will find you, yes, oh, yes we're coming to get you

The poison bleeding sun will bring its disease across a cursed grayish sky
The once beautiful Mother Nature will emerge out of the clouds of death
With sunken hollow eyes and yellow rotted teeth with flesh and blood
dripping off them

The cannibal corpses will rise up from hell and the graveyards will become
an eating sanctuary for our kind
Body parts and severed heads of our victims will cover the once green earth
We multiply as our sickness spreads across the devil’s land

Lifeless decaying madness walks upon the bleeding night
And you will suffer OH YES YOU WILL SUFFER feeling the wrath from our
demon hands
More of the human world will bow to our decaying souls and let the injection
spread within our zombie bite

this was a fun piece to do .. the tone of darkness worked out well in this piece and your half is brillantly done... overall a very fine collabration indeed... looking forward to more collabrations in 2010 with you... when our pens meet you better look out :)

[SM Davis]

You two are amazing on your own....and absolutely STUNNING together! VERY WELL DONE!

[Michael Carr]

To me this reads more like a Grindhouse Spoof of cheesy horror movies. I imagined a "Women in Cages!" style Voice Over in my head.
I hope its what it's meant to be otherwise the imagery is way too thick.

that said it is great in description, really fun to read, and very inventive.
you do indeed work well together and you should certainly do more.
and major congrats on winning the zombie contest! :D

[Nancy Lee Shrader]

[Nayan]

I shiver as I travel from the beginning to the end of the poem! All I wish is that the "2012, it was December 21st the day of the uprising!" be a myth!!!

[Eric Cox]

Excellent story full of creepiness and horror. An excellent collaboration, a very creative and cool write.
