Halloween Scare

Halloween Scare Lo’ there is an eerie silence in the ebon night When the wind gusts begin to stir and the crows take flight There is a crackled rumbling in the soil’s hard core That slowly hollows out and opens up all the unmarked graves And ravaged cadavers levitate their grisly gore And seek with a dreadful terror so they can enslave The meek humans’ heart and soul with the malicious fear Hallowed by Satan the shriveled forms purposely move Selecting all victims whose mind they will haunt and maim As the dawn creeps in they have finished their ghostly game They will return to the home of their burial place an accompanied screech then all is still with no trace we are no longer to fear until the following year Halloween Scare Contest Sponsored by Russell Sivey October 1, 2017

Nicely done, Ralph. Can you imagine in the pagan days, how they truly believed so many scary things and did the rituals that grew into our Halloween traditions of today?
