On Allhallows Eve,
The demons took their stand.
They rose up from Limbo
To reek their havoc on man.

O Pan himself took charge
And played his magickal recorder.
He conjured a mystical spell untold
That broke down the astral border.

Through that rip in the cosmos
Pan marched his evil legends.
Their mission, to regain the Earth
For all their hellish reasons.

Across this realm man ran in fear
Of the monstrous creatures that broke through.
Many broke down and gave up all hope
Then screamed, “there is nothing we can do.”

One man rose with a deceptive plan
That the masses thought was quite queer.
He said, “We’ll dress up as ghouls and ghosts
And within the demons we’ll strike fear.”

No other plan was offered up,
So they dressed as all that goes bump in the night.
Much to the amazement of those brave men,
In the demons eyes they saw fright.

O Pan sounded a ghastly retreat
For fear of their possible fate.
Back to their world they quickly ran.
Then we closed their cosmic gate.

Now, we call that day Halloween
And that game our children love to play.
They dress up as whatever they want to be
To scare them monsters away.

This year go out, have fun and celebrate
But to the side don’t let your fears be laid.
Even though we chased off those demons
There is still much reason to be afraid.

So when you go trick-or-treating
Hold your children tightly by hand.
Inspect all their candy closely
For the real monster to fear…is Man!



Love is the law,
Love under will.

Wonderful message to post this time of the year and definitely needs some attention.  Wise words from you and much appreciated in your concern in reminding us of the REAL danger out there.

   oh yes...my friend, Mark, is so right.
   a very important reminder here, and
   more people need to have the chance
   to see this one.
