Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week were phantom, agile and flaccid.
The Zombie Army
The convulsive genital sneeze
Propels the phantoms of mankind,
Only semi human but still determined;
Relentless, agile and blind.
Billions storm the battlements
But only one will have succeeded.
The rest are just left to die;
Superfluous and unneeded.
The commander of the forces
Stops once his goal’s obtained,
And slips into a peaceful sleep
Contented, flaccid and, well, drained.

Never thought of semen being a zombie army but the way you have written it's OK. I try to think of them as marines perhaps struggling against the tide.
