Prologue to the End

The start of something I have been playing with for a while.

 

Prologue

 

“The First Angel Went and Poured Out His Bowl on the Earth…”

 

Creatures of the night surround us

Romero laughs

His diabolic vision of despair

Of humor and laughter

A misleading masterpiece for those willing to understand the genius

 

Strangers unite

Fighting a plague of humanity before they fall prey

Victims, not innocent, but unforgiven of their sins

Their cannibalistic nature striking fear in us all

Not because of the sheer terror

Or their horrific deeds

But, for the primal nature lurking at our core

 

The taste of flesh as sweet as the fruit on the vine

The lure, the only difference

Or is it?

Instead of a snake in the garden

We are persuaded by desire

Carnal temptations leading us to flesh

 

At the heart, the snake and the pleasures are equal

These forbidden dreams considered taboo

So misunderstood, that the thought alone often spawns remorse

A lingering guilt that creates hatred

And yes, these monsters for us to cheer

 

The screens are full of surrealistic views of reality

Where the creatures indulge in the carnal feasts, we covet

Where flesh and blood replace the love and hate we hold on a pedestal

In many ways, we are all alike

Zombies searching for companionship instead of brains

Embracing the taste of our lovers skin during passion

 

For us, our time is here, the day of reckoning is now

Victims, not innocent, but unforgiven of their sins

Beautiful lines. I fell inlove with them. I really liked this piece. Makes you think.

Zombies searching for companionship instead of brains

Wow. This line can mean so many things. How we don't want to be lonely, how we need a friend, how we search only for company and it doesn't matter their personality or intelligence or good and bad qualities.

Yes, how we try and can be fooled. I love your style of writing, I really really like how you word and describe things. And the comparison with the snake, brilliant.

Is dream or nightmare reality, does your mind force you see view the unreal and make sense of it all, as reality... this is the question I ask myself after reading this poem, I like your sense of questioning...

[Kelly D. Burris]

This is such an intense piece! Makes you really do some thinking. I really like the style here in which this is written. I really like you interpretations here, you may be on to something....
