Halloween Changed
A princess dressed up in lace with a crown
Cowboys, their toy guns in holsters abound
White painted faces dressed up like a clown
Supermen with their capes flying all ‘round
They travelled thru the streets without a care
Gathering treats from houses in a row
Trusting their neighbors, no harm to ensnare
Simpler times replaced, now nowhere to go
They must visit safe houses for their fun
Too dangerous to wander aimlessly
Safe treats must be approved by everyone
There’ll be no more malicious trickery.
When did a cute costume filled atmosphere
Become a disturbing night full of fear?
