There are millions of zombies who dwell in the realm of the dead,
And in it there was one special zombie named Zed.
Now everybody knows that if a zombie kills you,
Your body will transform and you will become one too.
You see, Zed used to be just like you and me,
A human with purpose who loved to be free.
But something happened to him that wasn’t expected,
In the graveyard, a zombie killed him and his life was redirected.
He fell to ground with agony and pain,
His mind was transformed as he went insane.
But with this story there is a great surprise,
Something inside Zed couldn’t be overtaken, and it was about to arise.
It was the slightest glimmer of hope and wonder,
Not even death could drive it asunder.
It was ever so faint, but regardless it was there,
And into Zed’s inner-self, something magic he did hear.
It was calling out to him and saying that all was not lost,
Zed was determined to follow the voice, no matter the cost.
He was driven into the dark woods, and sat beneath a tree,
But you will never guess what he was about to see.
A wise grey owl suddenly did appear,
He sat on Zed’s shoulder and whispered in his ear.
He told Zed that he must find the wondrous great light,
And when he discovers it, the darkness inside him it will fight.
And as quickly as the wise old owl did appear,
He spread his wings and flew into the night air.
Zed wondered to himself where he could find this great light,
And until he could find it, the darkness inside him he would fight.
He walked all night throughout the earth’s surface,
And the more he walked, the more he found his purpose.
Soon the sun was about to shine and all the zombies would have to go and hide,
But before it could arise a different light would shine, and inside Zed it did reside.
It was that glimmer of hope and wonder that Zed had felt before,
But now it was something infinitely more.
It was Zed’s will to once again live and be free from death’s grip,
The more his desire surged, the greater the light did rip.
It blossomed and it burned through death’s dark chain,
It started up from the foot, through the heart, and into his brain.
It was a minute later and a few seconds more,
The darkness inside Zed was completely tore.
He had passed from death’s darkness into life’s light,
Once again he was human, for he hand conquered the night.
But the story was not over for Zed,
For he was given a special gift to take back to the realm of the dead.
You see, once you have defeated death, it can never have power over you again,
He took this gift to other zombies so they could once again be women and men.
The zombies saw Zed coming, but because of life’s gift they could not touch him,
His shared his gift with all, and a small light did appear in all of them.
Some of the zombies twitched and twisted,
The most vile of them even resisted.
But in many of the zombies the light grew and grew,
Once again they were human, as the darkness completely withdrew.
The war wages on between the great wondrous light and the dark,
But to the zombies, the light will forever embark.
So never give up hope in anyone or anything,
Because you just never know when and what that wondrous light will bring.
