Changing of a zombie

Georgiarous101

How wrong of thee 

Would it be 

To compare it to dementia?

Because when they change

the pains the same 

Then and forever after.

They lose that twinkle in their eye 

Then the only questions left 

Are the how's and the whys?

Why has this happened?

How could this happen?

To someone so perfect

So innocent 

So kind 

How could this person lose their mind?

The innocent one to never sin?

Against dementia 

Even the kindest won't win.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem after watching my nan suffer for many years with dementia. I watched it Tear away everything she knew and as mad as it sounds I always compared it to someone turning into a zombie the comparison being they still look like the person you love and cherish yet they couldn\'t be more different.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGIA ~ LOVE BRIAN XOX Love this poem because it does put DEMENTIA into a framework ! People I know with Dementia are indeed jut like ZOMBIES and not like the people i knew.! The "eye twinkle" goes replaced by a blank stare ~ they are incoherent and talk gibberish etc ~ lovely people ~ wrongly wired ~ so sad. Your poem is cathartic ~ next time I visit my Uncle Jim ~ I will think ZOMBIE and perhaps it won't seem so bad. Great poem ~ difficult subject ~ BRIAN
