I Wish I Were Alive Again
I shumble under the midnight sky,
Attempting to articulate why,
I search for the brains of my next meal,
Rather then, just give up and truly die.

Sometimes I wonder if my undeath is real,
Is this a nightmare brought on by eating veal?
I want to live again!
I want to watch dawn while eating hot oatmeal.

Becoming a Zombie was not part of my plan,
I enjoyed waking up at dawn when the day begin,
I did not like the darkness of night,
Because that was the time, I expected danger to happen.

Now I must hunt without the sunlight,
Stalking my neighbors as they run from me in fright,
Feeding on the living that prowl the night,
Knowing that only the moon is bright.
