Halloween

Whatever happened to Halloween?
The costumes and treats galore?
The trick-or-treaters, ghouls and ghosts,
Alas, they are no more.

Is it the rain or fear and pain,
That drove away those smiling faces?
Or is it the paganistic side,
That prevents these graces?

The dentists are losing,
Their holiday riches,
And there are more,
Of these technical hitches.

Teens are looming,
Eggs in hand,
Or those little children,
That giggling band.

So where has it gone?
The spirit of Halloween through,
Well, until next year,
It will be watching you.

Mwahahahaha!

If life is an open door, why am I always trapped on the outside. With all this space around me and no where to go, no one to share it with. The cruel and unforgiving darkness becomes a blessing and my mind blurs the lines that others have set in place for me. I am at one with my self. I am at one with others. I am at one with the darkness. I am at one with the unknown.

The 'R3@L' World.

Remember when we all used words. That time so long ago. When 'C U L8R' wasn't that, It was 'know' instead of 'no'. Remember when we taught to spell, And every write was art.

Do You Remember

#projecthumanity(ish). Remember when the world was safe. When kids could play outside all day. When doors weren't locked 'til late at night. when you could trust that man was kind.

The Past

I read somewhere, some time ago "the past's a foreign land" But I was young and innocent, Just didn't understand.

Grown

#emotion. Olden days, golden days. All day long and sunny plays. Mum and dad know where I be. I'll be home in time for tea. On my Chopper, ride for miles. Get filthy dirty, biggest smiles.

Playing Pretend

Remember when we were kids. Do you remember running around, laughing and playing without a care in the world.

Times Changed

Do you remember. Back in the day. Of all the old games. That you use to play. Marbles and hangman. Cluedo or snap. Playing Atari. On your dads lap. Cars on the floor. Painting the walls.

I wasn't allowed to trick or treat this year ๐Ÿ˜ข

@AWriterGirl I don't really go trick or treating. I mean, you don't exactly know where the sweets have been and you don't exactly know if they have been drugged. Then you don't know the people you are taking sweets from and they don't know what will happen if you don't get candy, e.g. tyre slashing, egging, tping, etc.
