Ode To Halloween

Here it is, that time of year. Where business push, Christmas cheer.

It angers me, causes my blood to boil, the thought of such things causes my emotions to embroil.

Tis not fair, to the great Hallows eve. Because of this plastic cheer, that business's conceive.

I care not for Santa, or his inflatable Reindeer. I despise snow and fake glittery cheer.

Businesses can't seem to get it through their heads.

That cometh October, is the festival of dreads!

Fear is a gift, one that's rather giving.

A sweet little reminder, that we are the living.

The veil between the gray, is tattered and torn

Passing through the veil, they bring bad luck and scorn.

Arrive demons, and devils. That amass in swarm.

Tis our duty to scare them! Return them from whence they came.

And they're not scared at all. Seems this "Christmas" is to blame.

So, I resist. The glitter, the Red White and Green, I choose to use colors that are far more obscene.

Butterfly Princesses and Ninja's in green.  And cute little fuzzy things colored Aubergine?

What the hells hath happened to grand Hallows eve?

Children seem to think, it's all for the candy. To them, this festival, it's rather dandy.

That candy is one's pay. For keeping evils at bay. To show courage and adorn the most grizzly of display.

Come now, adults, and my disturbed friends. It is up to us. To make amends.

This Hallows eve.  Get yourself an infamous rep.

Frighten small children and adults from your door step.

Let deceivers and demons, devils and other evil dribble.

Flee back to veils so they can whine and snivel.

Come this hallows eve. You'll shown great courage.

By showing evils, you're not one to be discouraged.

Should a child, or adult arrive at your door,

and their costume makes you wish to dive to the floor.
Methinks their "pay" should be a little more.

So I say, my friends. Tis not time to bereave.

Tis time for us to Rescue All Hallows Eve
