poetry on Hallowe'en night
Amidst the horrorific feelings that the world is feeling now
On a Halloween night, where the full moon shines bright
I am locked in a struggle between the heart and mind
For comprehension of the meaning
What is right?
What can I find?
I am rational, and ready for the answers that I seek
Who answers clearly now, and who can wonder how
This feeling that I'm feeling is wrong, and so unclear
I'm helpless, hurt, and angry
Have we dealt the final blow?
Is humanity doomed to despair?
It will all come out in the wash, I will proclaim
It has to be all right, we will prevail into the night
But something tells me friends it is the beginning of the end
I've read it since inception
Proclamations bourne of second sight
And disparate messages to send
But as the neighbor's kids are screaming as they always do
On a Hallowe'en night, whern the full moon shines bright
Under a haze of suspicion and deep regret
It doesn't really matter
Who knows if anything's all right
And someday hasn't happened yet.
(short, sweet, sad, solid, another poor excuse for poetry from a conflicted soul.)
