The Sickness

The Sickness

A Poem by Nic
"

Inspired by a family member's death

"

 

The people with the sickness
Walk around. Mind-less.
 
I try to convince the healthy to leave,
But they are too stubborn to believe.
 
I watch as it kills people like an infection,
Destroying town, section by section.
 
I tried to get somebody,
But they we’re busy counting money.
 
I try to get injected,
So I don’t get infected.
 
But no shot would do,
You’ll need your mind to make it through.
 
The black smoke,
Works its way to the young folk.
 
The only protection,
Is isolation.

I like this alot reminds me of 28 days later with all the disease and death, or like the book series left behind because they don't repent when they should...

Lovelyy.

INTERESTING KINDA SOUNDS LIKE DAWN OF THE DEAD. I LIKE THE CONCEPT. THE DISEASE SPREADING AND NO ONE EVEN CARING OR BELIEVING. GOOD JOB...NIGHTWISH
