Good evening/morning/afternoon (whatever best suits you for where you live and what time you happen to be reading). Halloween is approaching and the dark note of my poetry is definitely showing. I usually have a "take it as it is" policy with my poetry and writing, meaning I won't break it down for you. That simply means you are welcome to interpret my poetry however you wish. If you like to view it as a story, fantastic! If you see the political messages or take away something else, that's great too! Now, there is a comments section below, so if you feel like you want to share how you felt about the poem (any of them actually). Also, if you want to talk about it, feel free to ask or email me.

Horrors of the Night
Seeping into reality are the horrors of the night
Monsters, villains, ghosts, zombies, all sorts of plight
Death, destruction, deception, they're all coming to the light
the lies we've all been told are surfacing, so the wrongs can be made right
so all of those who haven't opened your eyes, awaken and join the fight
for we are being made fools of while we sleep and must try with all our might
to rise against the odds and answer the call to rise and bring within our sight
the truth of the realization that we are meant to reach a greater height.
Join with me, brothers and sisters and keep at bey the horrors of the night.
