Those decorations are going up weeks in advance,
Evil and electronic, the Devil can keep his final dance.
The heaviness of Halloween, knowing that this stuffs real,
Tricking and treating for hours after an evening meal.
Nonbelievers lie in bed loving all of their dark and twisted demons,
Can't find one drop of righteousness amongst a gang of heathens.
Ritual sacrifices throughout the decades are written off as conspiracy,
History is his story, taken me a while to see the lies of everything clearly.

It's horrible in a way - a worldly celebration, with darkness. Some churches have 'Light Parties' that evening instead.
Yes pal, it is weird, oh didn't know that.
Yes - it's in contrast, and maybe defiance too, of 'dark' Halloween celebrations. I went to one (did I? lol) but stumbled. I forgot to put the lights on. Doh! heehee.
hahaha!
A most seasonal poem written with a bit of darkness and some cynicism that shines through. Well done
Cheers very much!
Same to ya
Well written Shawn. Philosophically/Theologically, what would the light be without the darkness? Horror has always been some of the more moralistic tales, the Bible is loaded with it, and Halloween happens to be this Christian’s favorite holiday. Truth is, apart from the sun we all sit in night eternal...and the same could be said spiritually too. So I say embrace it…Jesus did...and let your light shine all the more. Big Ol' Jack-O'-Lantern certainly helps with the light shining too. 🎃 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks pal, yes, it is a weird celebration for sure.
Yes, and yet seasonally makes perfect sense! LOL! Between Fall and Winter, those ghostly winds be a-howling! You are most welcome, my friend!
