Scary
It’s almost Halloween but I
Am not afraid of bats
Or witches, spiders, vampires, ghosts
Or cross-your-path black cats.
I have no fear of mummies, monsters,
Skeletons or ghouls.
What frightens me the most are those
Who follow all the fools
Who won’t wear masks or will not vote
Or are prepared to shoot
If all their ballots are in vain
And Donald gets the boot.
All Hallows’ Eve will come and go
With tricks and treats curtailed.
I’m scared, though, that Election Day
Might find our land derailed.
