Zombies

By megaprime81

All the zombies
Are in buildings
Doped up on meds
They have to take
Wandering the halls
They can't escape

All the zombies
Can barely think
They don't eat brains
Diagnosed with disorders
In a place they can't escape

All the zombies
Walk up and down 
The halls of institutions
Drifting aimlessly
Half-asleep
And not awake

Free the zombies
Free the zombies
Keeping them on meds
Is a mistake

    This makes me think about just that. I wonder what the zombies think about or if the medications basically keep them in a place where that can't happen? Great Read :)

    N.I.M.B.Y. would probably apply here, but then who would enrich big pharma too I wonder? Cheers MP, well-said!

    Interesting concept- are we naught but societal zombies, walking this world with little purpose but production? Nifty.

    Thanks. I just figured that people in institutions were so medicated they were like zombies, so the idea stemmed from that.
