Catastrophe conceives
a living graveyard
in stench drenched
misery
desolate, yet awake
alive with spirits
gathering
festering
hybrids of living
and dead collide
manufacturing
armies to breed
timeless, lifeless
rotting bodies
perpetuates
toxicity

Radiation’s absorbed
deeply through pores
transformation begins
distorting skin
bodies modify
mutation transpires
consuming human life
now required
to survive

As they rise
They hide, They spy, They strike
They kill, They eat, alive
heedless, victims, of prey
THEY

Quietly surveilled
terror prevails
paranoia
quickly rising
hope dissipated
fate actuated
mortality
beckoning

Bodies modify
mutation transpires
consuming human life
now required

As they rise
They hide, They spy, They strike
They kill, They eat, alive

“Past the armed gates outside of Chernobyl, we entered through an unsecured area to see the damage reactor number four has caused. While the city looks abandoned, we escaped what appeared to be victims of radiation exposure, who were violent, yet lifeless. Our investigation has produced many questions, with the first being: Are the borders blocked to prevent radiation from spreading further or to protect the public from what the radiation has already created?”
