Poetry
A ragged ill shod urchin
Walked limping through the streets
Midst crowds of well fed offspring
Bedecked in devilish things
His stomach growled for lack of food
But no one noticed...
Because it was Halloween.
An empty bag blew down the road
He bent and picked it up
Then scurried to the nearest house
Hoping soon to fill it.
But when he begged for food
They laughed and tossed him sugar laden candy
Because it was Halloween.
A chilling wind blew down the street.
A lonely figure shivered in the cold,
Pulled his shirt rags closer
Then held his hands near a jack-o-lantern to warm them
But the wind blew out the candle
Still yet, no one noticed
Because it was Halloween.
The hoary frost covered the ground
Embracing the child as he slept fitfully beneath a culvert
Silently clutching him into death’s grip
As he held his prized bag of candy
In the early morning hours
And Jesus wept, then took him home
Because it was Halloween.
