Last year when the ZRS had their previous hate-fest disguised as ‘Zombie Awareness Month’ we counter-protested with a ‘Zombie Cultural Awareness Month’. Admittedly, I’d kind of forgotten about that until I got a comment, not on this year’s post about the ZRS’ continued perfidy, but on last year’s, submitting a poem for our appraisal:

I posted a poem for Zombie Awareness Month over at:
http://stansgreatbooksblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/poem-in-honor-of-zombie-appreciation.html Check it out!

We did take a look at the poem, and I have to say, Stan?

Why did you think we’d like a poem with lines like this:

It shambles side by side with others,
Inhuman, but in human form,
Unliving, but self-moving,
Dead, but hungry.
They shamble on a well-beaten path,
For they are many
Lemming-like legions,
marching on and on,
From the undiscovered country that holds
No mystery for them.
They eat and slay the Unfortunate Living,

Or this:

A cacophony of dissonant
Weeping and wailing in the wake of the
Groaning things which should not be.

‘Groaning things which should not be.’ Yeah… perhaps you didn’t notice the name of this blog. Or website. Or our mission statement.

We’re PRO-Zombie. I mean, really. What reaction is a Zombie Rights lobby going to have to a poem that declares our clients ‘should not be’?

Given that The ZRC blog has the unfortunate distinction of awarding our first rating for poetry, a solid ‘Living Supremacist’ at that.

For shame, Stan. For shame.
