The Zombie Apocalypse

Somewhere in laboratory,
a deadly virus is conceived.
Seemingly a fiction story -
returning life to the deceased.

Tested on caged animals;
with a syringe - it is injected.
Producing vicious cannibals,
each one of them infected.

The virus rages through the veins,
eating at the tissues;
And once it finally causes death,
you really have some issues.

Re-animation of the dead,
their flesh still rotting off.
The fumes produced, so sickening,
stem regurgitating coughs.

Through saliva or the blood,
the virus is contracted.
If you happen to get bitten,
death can be expected.

We would never have to worry,
if the virus stayed contained;
But the contagion was released,
and by a terrorist obtained.

Biological warfare,
to the highest degree.
From a mass epidemic,
to a mass killing spree.

Mindless zombies roam the earth -
each city, state, and street.
Countless corpses corrupt the land;
The undead, they never sleep.

Feeding on our flesh,
gnawing through the bone within.
The apocalypse is everywhere,
A fight we simply will not win.

Once everything's contaminated,
The living dead - the last to stand.
The remaining are emaciated,
Starved, defeated - an outcome unplanned.

As the world is overtaken,
no signs of life remain.
The virus is extinguished,
As quickly as it came.
