Don't be Afraid

Darkness is found deep within the forest,
Shadows fall on long forgotten grounds.  
The grounds cry with deep seeded anguish-
Years of hatred pulling them from the ground.

Rattling moans and cries echo softly through the clearing,
Life returning to those long gone from this life. 
Skeletons stained brown from age and weather. 

Disturbed the peace the living did,
Now we the dead shall disturb yours.

Their voices rattled as they chanted,
Sending unearthly chills down the backs of onlookers.

Barebone, empty worm filled eye sockets. 
Strips of long decayed clothing hanging from joints. 
A chilling sight indeed.

A night of terror filling their streets,
Decorated for the fun of haunting and terrifying.
Children crying scared as their hopes were dashed.
Parents yelling at their children, scared and stern.

Halloween night is not so much fun,
If this is what is truly happens.

Don't be scared.
Don't yell.
Don't be frightened, 
For fear, you may bring them upon you.
