Psychedelic Zombies Poem by John Sensele

Cocaine-sodden minds infiltrated in all interstices
In several nanometers per epidermis pore with noxious poisons
Feed mirages to enraged dendrites and synapses
That metamorphose midgets into hulks fit for prisons.


Brains shrunk by years of substance abuse
Diminished to dead cabbages with hardly any capacity
For coherent thought that had become a luxury in use
Only by minds prudent enough to avoid a dagga proclivity.

Rehab sessions conducted in good faith by head shrinkers
Who ply their trade to rectify harm too deep
To easily rectify endeavour to wipe away blinkers
That fight a return to normalcy for addicts to keep.

Lysergic acid diethylamide infested brain
Reduced not by microenchephaly induced by the zika virus
Which spreads terror among expectant moms rain
Seas of illusions in which zombies rewrite history on papyrus.
