Beware Halloween

As night so summons dormant souls
Who once walked freely on the earth
The ghostly cries of those deposed
Seem to possess a brand new birth

And purpose, too, for they now know
Their nights are full of deathly mirth 

The human mind fears demons, all
As God-fearing hearts within, so cry
For they fear most that goodness fall
And on this eve that they may die

For Hallows Eve, it brings the worst
The fears they have remain their curse
