The Beginning of the End

The Beginning of the End

A Chapter by Alex Vidmar

It came from the depths of Hell,
Rising and inhabiting the corpses.
Freshly dead ones only, strangely enough.
Loved ones came back, hungry and relentless.

At first no-one did a thing,
Fear and surprise stunned us all.
'Til the first living human died of a bite,
Then the crows began to sing.

We holed ourselves up in basements and schools,
Made weapons from scratch of old gard'ning tools.
Some left for other parts of Earth,
Just to escape this Hell-spawned birth.

We all lost family, friends, and hope.
Many took their own lives; unable to cope.
These undead spirits from beyond the graves,
Forced me to take refuge in an old bear's cave.

Lord Almighty, what the f**k have we done?
To walk, sleepless, forced to run?
Running from family, newly forgotten.
To save our own lives, however ill-gotten.

I've had to put to rest,
My wife and my kids,
And my parents still walk, shot in the chests.
Lord, please tell me what the f**k we did!

I hear one coming my way now.
Gotta go.

For someone from 19 years young, you write pretty damn well! I can only appreciate such clever souls around the cafe! wonderfully done, dark occult, and with a true "Bite" but how could it miss... from where you are from... :)

This is awesome! I never thought that it would be possible to make a cool poem about zombies, but that's exactly what you've done somehow XD

I love the rhyme scheme; even though it's uneven throughout the poem, I think it makes it more fun to read and helps to tie it together. My favorite thing is that you took zombies as your theme and actually made a good narrative for it--a book of poems about a zombie apocalypse is going to be fun to read about, I'm sort of in love with them now that I've started watching the Walking Dead. 'Infestation' is the perfect title, and this first poem is the perfect way to kick it off because it leaves readers wanting to hear more. nice job :)
