No Hiding Place

No hiding Place 

Shadow, shadow on the wall why did you disappear? Now I can’t go into 
the bathroom to see if I’m here. Look at the map of Rumania, think of Dracula 
switch on more light; and remember I have no garlic cloves. Look up Norway, 
on the Google map, such a pleasant country, peace loving people, 
the plods carry no guns and you can ask them for direction and they will tell
 you where to go should you be as stupid as get lost in their quaint little towns. 
But I also see a man dressed in fantasy uniform, walking around a lake island
killing children like they should be rabbits infected with myxomatosis and 
it must be stopped before it spreads to  people on the mainland.  
The shadow on the wall is back looks familiar I wave the shadow waves back. 
I’m safe in my tiny Portuguese village, but for how long?
