The Children of the Streets

Night fall,
The moon in the heavens full,
A mist has taken the sky,
The air is still and cool.
.
   The night is chilled,
Haunting thrills,
From the depths of hell,
Evilness spills.
.
   The haunting of Halloween,
The beast released,
Stalking their prey,
The children of the streets.
.
   Around every corner,
 Hiding in the shadows of the alley ways,
The creatures of the world,
Are gathering today.
.
   Coming with their needles,
Pins, and fills,
Of acid laced candies,
And cyanide pills.
.
   A nightmare of hell,
All Tricks no treats,
The world’s waste tonight stalk,
The children of the streets.
