The Zombie Apocalypse

We used the excuse "a trades a trade"
But never questioned what they made
The increased numbers in the account
A questionable amount?
Paid for a dip in memory
To explain to us clearly
Their role in the apocalypse
"We are just trying to fix…"
Fix what?
" A new form of chicken pox"

They say it started with a jab
A new vaccine, created in lab
It was like back in the 80's with HIV
A scared, ill-informed, society
‘We would all be effected'
Again, we were uneducated
As humans we become fixated
And become alienated
From what?
‘Things we have not yet got!'

And as our loved ones got those sores
We panicked and rushed through laws
Up popped new charities
Helping those in 3rd World Countries
Get vaccinated from something they didn't need
We all know with medicine comes greed
Free vaccinations, in Prisons to Schools
We all signed up it  like fools
For What?
" To stop?"

It didn't take long for the fever to come
Then the first recorded death, "but it was only one!"
Then another, and another, and another
We ignored it until it became our mother or brother
It swamped the planet, engulfed our species
And as the dead rose and tore us to pieces
We bargained within our head
I'd had taken chicken pox than be a walking dead
So now what?
"We hide or run, till we rot"
