Trick or, Treat

Lurking in every corner, Ghouls and Goblins wait…
Dressed in shredded linen and shrouds of dusty drapes…
Black as night; molded with grime and grease…
Fear and Dread take to the streets…
Trick… or Treat…each child awaits and greets…
As neighbors open their doors, kiddies scream, “More! More!”
Old Hallow’ Ween…what evil you have seen…running in and out with shadow in between…
Where demons laugh, and mock, and shriek…
While people play games of hide and seek…in darkness, unaware of who they seek…
Trick…or, Treat!!!
Hallowed… it should not be…
But nevertheless, “Tis just for fun…”
Or so Death says, taking one by one…
Be wise, for he who lurks, is the father of lies
Pulling the wool over undiscerning eyes…
In the end…each one cries…
Trick…or, Treat!

John 14:15-17 The Message (MSG)
The Spirit of Truth
“If you love me, show it by doing what I’ve told you. I will talk to the Father, and he’ll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you. This Friend is the Spirit of Truth. The godless world can’t take him in because it doesn’t have eyes to see him, doesn’t know what to look for. But you know him already because he has been staying with you, and will even be in you!

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4

  1. Oh my! This is an amazing piece of writing! You are a gifted poet, and it was a treat to read this! It’s so refreshing to see that there are other brothers and sisters in Christ standing with me, my family, and my pastor, and JESUS CHRIST! Here is my post today. It is a guest post written by my pastor, who said it perfectly: Halloween is a celebration of death and darkness… Jesus is the Light! https://angelaslittleattic.com/2017/10/31/guest-post-by-pastor-mike-dean-halloween-is-a-celebration-of-death-and-darkness-jesus-is-the-light/
