Halloween Madness

halloween madness And so it is there inside As it always is This thing with a life of its own What do I call it? A friend, companion, bed fellow? This ravenous thing in my head Which controls me and drives me Guiding me to Hell and back And there and back on and on Doing what needs to be done To satisfy its thirst for blood A total ing cliche The axe man in the forest The knife man in the mall The shooter in the college The grenade thrower at the mosque You see I am the psychopath I am one of ten people With this special gift Not the one that kills but another The ability to become 1 of 10 Ten lifetimes in one A priceless gift from the Army Experiment This failed to make a super soldier It made me instead I am Jacob's Ladder I am LSD I am all the bad things I am the thing that will hurt you I am the creature of the dark I am all that you fear The cliche of death So be very ing afraid For now I must kill
