The Children of the Streets

Night fall, The moon in the heavens full, A mist has taken the sky, The air is still and cool. . The night is chilled, Haunting thrills, From the depths of hell, Evilness spills. . The haunting of Halloween, The beast released, Stalking their prey, The children of the streets. . Around every corner, Hiding in the shadows of the alley ways, The creatures of the world, Are gathering today. . Coming with their needles, Pins, and fills, Of acid laced candies, And cyanide pills. . A nightmare of hell, All Tricks no treats, The world’s waste tonight stalk, The children of the streets.
