The Lost Candy of All Saints Day

I see you have eaten my All Saints food
And destroyed my celebrating mood
We were to acknowledge all the dead
I may add you to that list instead

We were to bless the dead and martyrs
And now I have no food for starters
Then since you ate it all in a rave
I will go quickly and start your grave

While I dig just sit here and ponder
How it feels for your soul to wander
For I will return into the night
And take you there before daylight

Think of  candy that belonged to me
And then how the dead could have felt free
You must follow these Saints in their way
I will see you then on All Saints Day

Larry, it would seem that few know the somewhat historic beginnings of "Halloweens" Hallowed evening
