Why Zombies Never Die : Discovery News

Why Zombies Never Die : Discovery News:

An interesting piece on our fascination with zombies and how it has become a very common feature of current day pop culture. If our world were headed into a zombie apocalypse, I would hope we get the George Romero zombies. If we end up getting the ones from 28 Days Later or 28 Weeks Later, we're screwed.

The Sound of One

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Africa my lady

   your red blood earth and endless skies

drum

   pulsating beats through primordial

seat

   base-rhythm a roll that’s rounded

"Keep-us-grounded-keep-us-grounded"

New Australia New Zealand

   walkabout orange dust and tepid air

throb

   didgeridoo drones of ancient

shamanic feet

   Shuddering a longing god-sacred wish

"bring-together-the-new, bring-together-the-old"

Westerners and YELLOW  East                                                           

   where mystery and machinery

meet

   tears of the cello, allegro laughter

feel

   By molding pain and joy

     Face both shadow and light

"gratitude-in-sadness, jubilation-in-gladness"

The cold cold north of Viking Norse

   where ice and sap green runes

   spaceship

 the hang between bright lone stars

   percussionist

 of passion and string gentleness

"dream, strive, desire!!!      find LOVE"

Blue angel choirs of voice so strong

   where the Word becomes a song

Sing

   melodies and primal cries

Shout

   where eagles fly

   Lift your voice in praise

"glory oh Spirit, glory thy Name"

Indigo tabla, indigo see

   Other worlds within worlds it be

Stroke of fingers,

tap visions

   Of the not yet seen

 that urges me

"open-your-eyes, open-your-eye"

Purple flute softly whispers

   the road to travel

destiny yours to unravel

   Follow your Spirit, America!

"Walk-your-own-path"

The birth of a soft faint sound

Will rise, crescendo-explode into love

and make us…

ONE

Apology to my Body

I take advantage of you everyday,

I know I abused you, but what can I say?

I didn't know better, and though it is true,

What can I say to make it up to you?

My dear body, with me through thick and thin,

Though I never meant it, I have committed sins,

Loving life so much, I did not see,

What it was I was doing to thee.

Finally you shared your pain,

You gave my son life, I shall do the same,

Finally I see what you mean to me,

My body, my friend, I finally see.

Take better care of you each day,

I will meet your needs in every way,

For I love you my tired friend,

To you this apology I now send.
