ZOMBIE CAPITALIST DEATH HORROR

ZOMBIE CAPITALIST DEATH HORROR (© P.R.Murry 12/03/2017)

The dead bad giants

Are alive again,

Once my father believed

That they had been slain,

Or at least, battered

Down onto their knees;

And that Poverty, Ignorance,

Squalor and Disease

Could no longer crush us

With fear and grief;

But, sadly, that belief

Was overoptimistic.

And like something terrific and horrific,

The four zombified monsters

Are re-animated and undead,

Lumbering into a new century

Crushing those who cannot pay

Smashing all obstacles in their way,

Rewarding wealth and spurning need,

Driven by the power of greed

To ensure capitalism’s control

Of our bodies, our brains our souls.

So now we must dig a deeper hole

to bury them forever.
