Pass the pumpkin, the chocolate, the fun,
The lies of danger should be over and done.
One family did it to their own and just once
sure they faltered, history shows,
But tonight the laughter in every street grows.
One girl, once
a story twisted till now, her family the foe, no one else involved anyhow
Caught in a lie that everyone seemed to know.
Not strangers , not once not ever.
Just one poor family that wasn't that clever.
No one hiding in shadows, not monsters in the dark,
But blood-bound kin,
their hands left this mark.
Hospitals have known, urgent care has seen,
The truth of Halloween is far from mean.
Safe, joyous, mischievous, costumes that gleam,
The streets belong to witches, to pirates, to dreams
Fun and silliness careless youth and recorded screams.
An urban legend got demonized an blown out of proportion
safety and the love for our kids twisted through the telephone game lens and added distortion .
Its just not true !
I happily did all the research for you.
No records of admittance
no insurance claims
no weirdos doing bad stuff anyone can actually name
or blame.
There never were ANY bad treats
just A bad horror story repeated on every neighborhood street.
All hospitals keep an accurate ledger, even backwoods halls,
Even Appalachian urgent care, has no documented calls.
So dress up, go out , hit up the streets and the malls
Put the fear back in the costumes where it belongs
let em bob for apples and sing silly songs.
Before the jack-o’-lanterns glowed in autumn night,
Before ghosts and goblins gave the town such a fright,
Records stood silent, precise and unbending,
No claims, no apple admittance
no illness or bad will not then, not now, not ever
no children’s lives were ending.
Just more 80's satanic panic
the buzz **** un ending
its a hollow lie and not worth defending.
So stop the fear-mongering, the horror tales grown stale,
Let kids run laughing,
let candy prevail.
There never have been any poisoned chocolates
no apples that killed,
Just friends in the night, chasing thrills
and the thrilled.
Buckets full of love and fun to be
filled and then spilled.
Hoarded or traded
at school so proudly coveted or paraded.
Trick or treat indeed
its the good time we all enjoy and need.
This is the truth easily verifiable
so let em have fun
and it IS
FUN
undeniable.
Happy Halloween go out and enjoy it .
Spread the truth, not fear and unfounded lies
give love and receive love
and enjoy a surprise .
HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!
